Read the passage.

Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;

Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;

Thy fate is the common fate of all,

Into each life some rain must fall,

Some days must be dark and dreary.

The tone of the poem is comforting. Which mood is suggested by the details of the poem?

A. Restful

B. Hopeful

C. Excited

D. Depressed

A and B both seem like good answers but hopeful seems more accurate because although its comforting, it recognizes hardships and troubles but is hopeful for the shining sun and the good times.
