Read the poem.


The house was silent

The sky was dim

Until slim rays

Stretched high

Then morning arrived

Fluttering heavy lids

And opening eyes.

Answer: Until, and then.

Explanation: When writing a poem, there are words the author can use to create the order of events, without necessarily being chronological. In the given poem there are two words that create an order of events, they are "until", which marks the ending of an event (the ending of the sky being dim), and "then" which helps to express continuity between one event and the next one.
