Analyzing Tone and Mood in Poetry

Read the following excerpt from a poem:

In the heart of toil, where shadows creep,
Voices tremble, too tired to weep.
Yet, in the stillness, faint hopes rise,
Like fragile blooms beneath dark skies.

In this excerpt, the mood and tone convey a sense of struggle and faint hope amid despair. Consider how the imagery and language shape the reader's emotional response and identify which option best describes the overall tone of the poem.
