  3. What is the MOOD of the poem below? When in the night the ghouls do howl,And corpses rise from their coffins foulIt takes so little on death to thinkAnd from its horrors afraid to shrink.When the screech owl cries in the trees aboveAnd through the forests dark things moveThat rancid blood seem so to love,To take to your safe bed it would you behoove.Cover yourself, keep the garlic at handTo stave off vampires that move through the land.The witching hour now is nearWhen little children shake with fear,While in the darkness ghosts appear.

  14. What is the SYMBOLISM in the following poem? Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.`'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -Only this, and nothing more.' Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrowFrom my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore -For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore -Nameless here for evermore.
