Read the poem. excerpt from "A Christmas Carol"
by Christina Rossetti

In the bleak mid-winter

Frosty wind made moan,

Earth stood hard as iron,

Water like a stone;

Snow had fallen, snow on snow,

Snow on snow,

In the bleak mid-winter

Long ago.

Which mood is created by the repetition of the phrase "In the bleak mid-winter"?

hopeful

cheerful

heartbroken
