I see the leaves fall
and wish the summer would last,
yet—find hope in change.
Haiku 2:
Even high above,
the sparrow drifts with purpose,
never too weighed down.

The line that is an example of consonance is:
The light shines bright white in their eyes.
Consonance refers to the repetition of consonant sounds within and at the end of words in a sentence or phrase, and in this line, the repetition of the "t" sound in "light," "bright," and "white" exemplifies consonance.
Hope is the thing with feathers
by Emily Dickinson
"Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -
And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -
I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.

The two correct answers that readers can draw from the way poetic elements are used in the haiku are:
- The speaker is concerned by the approaching storm.
- The mood is foreboding and fearful.
The imagery of "dim, dangerous clouds" and the question about the sun hiding suggests a sense of worry about the storm and creates a foreboding mood.
Longing
by Paul Laurence Dunbar
If you could sit with me beside the sea to-day,
And whisper with me sweetest dreamings o’er and o’er;
I think I should not find the clouds so dim and gray,
And not so loud the waves complaining at the shore.
If you could sit with me upon the shore to-day,
And hold my hand in yours as in the days of old,
I think I should not mind the chill baptismal spray,
Nor find my hand and heart and all the world so cold.
If you could walk with me upon the strand to-day,
And tell me that my longing love had won your own,
I think all my sad thoughts would then be put away,
And I could give back laughter for the Ocean’s moan!
