Now that you've read it, I want you to first identify the tone of the poem. Remember that the tone is the speaker of the poem's attitude towards the subject of the poem. There are numerous possibilities. Here are some sample tone words:
Sad
Somber
Afraid
Happy
Joyful
Peaceful
Dreamy
Sweet
Nostalgic
Boring
Hollow
Childish
Confused
Secondly, identify one element of sound that you found in the poem. This could be a line or lines containing assonance or consonance, examples of rhyme, etc.
Finally, does the element of sound in any way help to create the tone you identified? If yes, how? If no, why not?
