Romance, who loves to nod and sing, With drowsy head and folded wing, Among the green leaves as they shake Far down within some shadowy lake, To me a painted paroquet Hath been - a most familiar bird - Taught me my alphabet to say - To lisp my very earliest word While in the wild wood I did lie, A child - with a most knowing eye. Of late, eternal Condor years So shake the very Heaven on high With tumult as they thunder by, I have no time for idle cares Through gazing on the unquiet sky. And when an hour with calmer wings Its down upon my spirit flings - That little time with lyre and rhyme To while away - forbidden things! My heart would feel to be a crime Unless it trembled with the strings. What theme of the poem does the second stanza reveal?

    I would say the correct answer is - Adults long for the romantic indulgences of youth.

    The narrator is saying how he doesn't have any more time to be idle now because he is getting older/is old and would like to settle down. He is fondly remembering his youth when he had all the time in the world to do whatever he wanted to do.
