The mood of the poem On His Blindness changes from stanza to stanza. In the first stanza, the there is a lot of frustration and perhaps anger as well (lodged with me useless). There is restlessness and remorse.
In the second stanza, the mood changes to doubtful. The poet starts wondering if God really wants him to use his talent after taking away his light. In the third stanza, the mood changes to relaxed as his mind tells him that God does not need man’s work. The one who just bears his pain is also serving Him.
In the final couplet, the mood changes to hopeful because the poet is now sure that he is serving God like the Angels who stand and wait. He does not require to write poetry to serve Him.
