Read the following excerpt from Whitman's Leaves of Grass, and note examples of the elements of poetry that it contains.

"The big doors of the country barn stand open and ready;

The dried grass of the harvest-time loads the slow-drawn wagon,

The clear light plays on the brown gray and green intertwined,

The armfuls are pack'd to the sagging mow.

What statement does this excerpt communicate?"

(A) The country is ready for harvest time.

(B) The wagons move slowly.

(C) The grass is dry.
