    The mood changes from the beginning to the end all because of the thrush’s song. The poem starts in a sad and gloomy mood where the poet laments the dying century, and then it reaches the climax where he hears the song of a thrush. He realizes the frail bird is singing a song of hope even in desolate times like this. The poem ends on a note of optimism where the poet realizes that hope can be found even in the darkest of times.
