Read these lines from the poem:
He’ll find a bayou land
of hidden pools,
And bask amid lush fern
and water lily
Why might the poet have used the words “bask” and “lush” in this description of the land the goose is flying towards?
to hint that the goose prefers land that is close to water
to show that the goose is likely to be unhappy in that land
to indicate the cold temperatures and harsh weather of that land
to emphasize the comfort, richness, and warmth of that land
