Read the following excerpt from Shakespeare's "Sonnet 73" and answer the question. In me thou seest the twilight of such day As after sunset fadeth in the west; Which by and by black night doth take away, Death's second self that seals up all in rest. In me thou seest the glowing of such fire That on the ashes of his youth doth lie, As the deathbed whereon it must expire, Consumed with that which it was nourished by. This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong, To love that well, which thou must leave ere long. Who is the implied listener? the speaker's father the speaker's child the speaker's teacher the speaker's lover
