Question

identifying the tone, mood, theme, and structure of the poem.

Answer 1

83. I Sit and Look Out


I SIT and look out upon all the sorrows of the world, and upon all oppression and shame;
I hear secret convulsive sobs from young men, at anguish with themselves, remorseful after deeds done;
I see, in low life, the mother misused by her children, dying, neglected, gaunt, desperate;
I see the wife misused by her husband—I see the treacherous seducer of young women;
I mark the ranklings of jealousy and unrequited love, attempted to be hid—I see these sights on the earth; 5
I see the workings of battle, pestilence, tyranny—I see martyrs and prisoners;
I observe a famine at sea—I observe the sailors casting lots who shall be kill’d, to preserve the lives of the rest;
I observe the slights and degradations cast by arrogant persons upon laborers, the poor, and upon negroes, and the like;
All these—All the meanness and agony without end, I sitting, look out upon,
See, hear, and am silent.

Answer 3

The Tone is Sad, I'd say that this has multiple themes but the overall choice is yours to choose whether you think the theme is sad,war,pain,ect. The mood is depressing, the person is looking opon all the sadness,unhappiness,war,and regrets of all the people that he/she sees, they see all of this and yet they do nothing about it " All the meanness and agony without end, I sitting, look out upon, See, hear, and am silent." The structure of this poem is written in free verse.
