Question

Which additional lines would BEST continue the stanza to maintain the imagery of continuous song and the hopeful mood conveyed by the poet?

Its trembling notes grow faint with rain,
Too weary now to sing again.

It hides away when storms appear,
Its voice replaced by doubt and fear.

It sings through night and wind and pain,
Its steady tune a sweet refrain.

It folds its wings when tempests roar,
And rests until the clouds are o'er.

Answer 1

At morning's touch it sings again,
And fills the air with hope's refrain.

These lines mirror the poem's cycle of rest and renewal, return the focus to continuous song, and reinforce the hopeful mood with the repeated image of a comforting refrain.
