Hope is the Thing with Feathers

Hope is the thing with feathers,
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words, and never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard, and sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I’ve heard it in the chillest land
and on the strangest sea,
Yet, never in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

What is the tone of the poem?

A.

D.

Respuesta :

I think C is the answer to the question, since the poem is about hope, which makes the tone hopeful. The author also mentions some negative things (which makes it bittersweet too), especially in the last few lines of the poem, "Yet, never in extremity, It asked a crumb of me."
C. Bittersweet and Hopeful because It makes sense once you read it on, Hopeful because like what it said "Hope is the Thing with Feathers" Bittersweet because "Sweetest in the gule is heard" and "It aksed a crumb of me".
