hopeful

Tone: melancholic

  • Tone transitions structured with repeated verse

The night has been long,

The wound has been deep,

The pit has been dark,

And the walls have been steep.

  • Each repetition has a different connotation
  • No set rhyming scheme, meter, or organization of stanzas
  • Resembles a disorganized mass of a million people
