What is the mood and tone of this poem

1) The oak is a wise old man;
I’ve seen him sway against the wind
So as not to lose his limbs.
He knows just how to give.

5) His furrowed skin is like the cover
Of an ancient book,
It's pages written in the colors
Of the passing seasons.

9) He witnesses the World
From a single stance;
He accepts and understands
And knows to be himself.
The oak is a wise old man.

Answer:

The narrator believes himself to be sane because he wisely executes his

plan to kill the old man

In the tell-tale heart, the narrator describes how he killed an old man

because this man had a vulture-like eye. This action seems quite insane

but the author explains he is not mad.

About this, the author mentioned "Now this is the point. You fancy me

mad. Madmen know nothing. But you should have seen me. You should I

have seen how wisely I proceeded"

This shows the author considers he is not mad, because he wisely

executed his plan.

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct me if I'm wrong
