10. read the passage. to waken an old lady by william carlos williams old age is a flight of small cheeping birds skimming bare trees above a snow glaze. gaining and failing they are buffeted by a dark wind— but what? on harsh weedstalks the flock has rested, the snow is covered with broken seedhusks and the wind tempered by a shrill piping of plenty. how would you summarize this poem? a flock of young birds becomes frustrated in the snowy and windy weather. the snowy and windy weather keeps a flock of young birds from flying. a flock of young birds tries to find something to eat but fails. despite the snowy and windy weather, a flock of young birds still manages to eat and survive.
