17.
The correct answer is (D).
Never assume that the speaker is
the poet, so eliminate choice (A). Unless a work of literature is
telling or instructing the audience directly, “you” should not be
considered the reader, so discard choices (C) and (E). It is
illogical to think that a friend of the poet, choice (B), is the
speaker, because the poem seems very personal. The speaker
loves the person to whom the poem is addressed, making choice
(D) the best response.
