A
Correct answer
Explanation
The Abyssinian Maid appears in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's 'Kubla Khan' (1816). In the poem's second stanza, Coleridge describes a vision of an Abyssinian maiden singing of Mount Abora. This mysterious figure represents inspiration and exotic beauty, and her memory leads the poet to declare that if he could revive her song within him, he would rebuild the pleasure-dome of Kubla Khan. The other options are all Coleridge poems but don't contain this specific figure: 'Frost at Midnight' is a conversation poem, 'Dejection: An Ode' explores despair, and 'Christabel' is a supernatural narrative.
