Read the stanza from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls." Darkness settles on roofs and walls, But the sea, the sea in the darkness calls: The little waves, with their soft, white hands, Efface the footprints in the sands, And the tide rises, the tide falls. Which word in the stanza best establishes a peaceful mood

    No single word, but the general sense of rhythm caused by repetition ("the sea, the sea"; "the tide, the tide"). Of course since the subject of the passage is "darkness" the word "settles" is critical to establish that the darkness is peaceful and not frightening.
