The correct response is:
"The words highlight how the speaker feels about losing Lenore."
The terms "rare" and "radiant" convey deep admiration and affection for Lenore, emphasizing the speaker's sense of loss and sorrow over her absence.
"The Raven"
by Edgar Allen Poe
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December;
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;—vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore—
