If another stanza were added to “The Caged Bird,” which excerpt could best be used to continue the extended metaphor?


The free bird sings

with a joyous song

of the captive life

that kept it safe all along


The caged bird sings

with a fearful trill

of things it craves

outside the sill


The free bird sings

with a fearful trill

of things it craves

outside the sill


The caged bird sings

with a joyous song

of the captive life

that kept it safe all along
