A

The poem takes place mostly at night, symbolic of the end of life and thus contributing to the theme of death.

B

The poem focuses on "Old John" as he reminisces about the past, and thus the poem’s setting takes place in two different times (past and present).

C

The poem takes place over the course of a day, symbolic of the course of one’s lifetime and thus contributing to the messages about youth and aging.

The poem takes place during the day and ends just before sundown, symbolic of the majority of a person’s life (i. e. adulthood), teaching the reader to value youth.
