Position:Home>Poetry> What is the mood of this poem?


Question:1. She walks in Beauty, like the night
2. Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
3. And all that’s best of dark and bright
4. Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
5. Thus mellowed to that tender light
6. Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.
2
7. One shade the more, one ray the less,
8. Had half impaired the nameless grace
9. Which waves in every raven tress,
10. Or softly lightens over her face;
11. Where thoughts serenely sweet express
12. How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
3
13. And on that cheek, and over that brow,
14. So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
15. The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
16. But tell of days in goodness spent,
17. A mind at peace with all below,
18. A heart whose love is innocent

Explain with details please, "mood" is a literary element so that means you describe or identify the mood.

tranquility is what pops into my head when I read this....

misceleneous...it's a mixture of most normal themes

This poem is about silence and deep thoughts. I think it talks about the memory of something that has ended, such as death or just general endings. It's a nice poem. Keep 'em coming :)

OMG! i love your peom!
Anyway, I think this peom is about God and thanking Him for all He has dont for us because i underlined all the things to do with God like: Heaven ect and it mostly had the things to do with God.

one of longing and infatuation (obviously through the flattering adjectives and metaphors/similies comparing the woman to pleasent imagery) or admiration. (because we all admire "a mind at peace" and an "innocent" heart)

Who ever wrote it,
is either in love with a girl.
And thinks she's the most gorgeous girl to walk.
Or is just happy and feels like writing a poem about a girl,
who could easily be them.
