Question

Give evidence from the poem to support that the speaker is the poet herself.

Answer 1

The poem conveys the author's feelings and is written in the first person. It implies that the speaker is probably the poet herself, discussing her personal relationship with music. First-Person Pronoun Use in the Poem as Evidence

• ‘I am drawn to the shore by that.’ 
• ‘I am deeply moved by that.’  
• ‘I need it when I'm depressed.’  
• ‘Music makes me feel better.’  
• ‘When I'm happiest’  

The speaker is discussing her own feelings and experiences, as seen by the frequent usage of ‘I" and ‘me.’ The speaker is expressing her own emotions in these sentences, which are a reflection of her own emotional experience.
