The poem begins with a complaining, reproachful tone. However, Milton uses a paradox in this last line from the poem: They also serve who only stand and wait.” How does this line affect the mood of the poem? It changes to a sense of pride. It creates a sense of helplessness. It grows into a sense of bliss. It reflects a sense of submission. Done On His Blindness by John Milton When I consider how my light is spent Ere half my days in this dark world and wide, And that one talent which is death to hide Lodged with me useless, though my soul more bent To serve therewith my Maker, and present My true account, lest He returning chide, “Doth God exact day-labor, light denied?” I fondly ask. But Patience, to prevent That murmur, soon replies, “God doth not need Either man’s work or his own gifts. Who best Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state Is kingly; thousands at his bidding speed, And post o’er land and ocean without rest; They also serve who only stand and wait.”
