“Work without Hope” is a short poem By Samuel Taylor Coleridge composed on 21st February in 1825. It describes the ways in which Nature works and the importance of goals, or hopes, to work for the things.

The most important part of the poem to answer this question comes in the second stanza where the speaker expresses that he has no hopes to work towards, nor any real object to set his mind on.

The only conclusion that cannot be drawn about "Work Without Hope" is:

B. Coleridge's "Work Without Hope" is an example of a Shakespearean sonnet.
