New Year's Eve Midnight
Now the bells are tolling-
A year is dead.
And my heart is slowly beating
the Nunc Dimittis
to all my hopes and mute
yewnings of a year
and ghosts hover round
dream beyond dream
Dream beyond dream
mingling with the dying
bell-sounds fading
into memories
like rain drops
falling into a river.
And now the bells are chimming-
A year is born.
And my heart-bell is ringing
in dawn
But it's shrouded things i see
dimly stride
on heart-canopied paths
to a riverside
The mood of the above poem is
optimism
pessimism
optimism mixed with pessimism
much optimism qualified by a little pessimism
much pessimism lightened by a little optimism

Pessimism and optimism are opposite ways of viewing the world, situations, or future events.
Pessimism is the belief that negative outcomes are more likely or that things will go wrong. A pessimist tends to focus on difficulties, risks, or failures. Example: "Things never work out for me."
Optimism is the belief that positive outcomes are more likely and that things will improve. An optimist tends to focus on hope, opportunities, and success. Example: "Tomorrow will be a better day."
Both perspectives influence how people handle challenges and opportunities in life.
