The best word describes the tone shared by "A Psalm of Life" and "Auspex" is serious. "A Psalm of Life" has a theme about young people who realize that death knows no age, so act now for the benefit of future generations, whereas "Auspex" tells the life that is filled with; passion, limited time, and natural harmony, so that the tone of both poems is serious.  EXPLANATIONA Psalm of Life poem was written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. A Psalm of Life poem is written from the perspective of a young person who conveys a message to the psalmist. Because of that, the aura of young people's blazing and optimistic spirit was very scattered in this poem.Although the poem is a message from young people to the psalmist, this poem actually tells about the fact that life can be short, because death knows no age. Therefore, time is very valuable. It's important for someone not to procrastinate on a job. In the last stanza, the narrator urges people to take action that has a good impact on future generations. Thus, this poem is written in a serious tone.  On the other hand, The Auspex poem was written by James Russell Lowell. This "Auspex" poem is composed of words in rhythmic rows that make this poem flow, showing its dramatic side.This poem tells the story of the desires of the soul and the age that limits it. Poetry is written using the image of natural harmony. When someone still has a high soul desire (passion) but he realizes that he is not young anymore, he is burdened with many demands for maturity but he must keep holding on to the soul desire (passion). Thus, this poem is told with serious tone.  LEARN MORE  If you’re interested in learning more about this topic, we recommend you to also take a look at the following questions:•How do the themes of "A Psalm of Life" and "Auspex" differ?•Which statement best describes the rhyme scheme in "A Psalm of Life"?KEYWORD: A Psalm of Life, Auspex, James Russell Lowell, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, poem, the tone of Auspex, the tone of A Psalm of Life  Subject: EnglishClass: 10-12Subchapter: Literature
