Ead this stanza from “The Song of Wandering Aengus” by William Butler Yeats.

I went out to the hazel wood,
Because a fire was in my head,
And cut and peeled a hazel wand,
And hooked a berry to a thread;
And when white moths were on the wing,
And moth-like stars were flickering out,
I dropped the berry in a stream
And caught a little silver trout.

How does the phrase "little silver trout" affect the tone of the poem?

It gives the poem a whimsical tone.


It gives the poem a proud tone.


It gives the poem a reflective tone.


It gives the poem a nostalgic tone.
