To answer question, use the following poem, “My City” by James Weldon Johnson. When I come down to sleep death’s endless night,
The threshold of the unknown dark to cross,
What to me then will be the keenest loss,
When this bright world blurs on my fading sight?
Will it be that no more shall I see the trees
Or smell the flowers or hear the singing birds
Or watch the flashing streams or patient herds?
No, I am sure it will be none of these.
But, ah! Manhattan’s sights and sounds, her smells,
Her crowds, her throbbing force, the thrill that comes
From being of her a part, her subtle spells,
Her shining towers, her avenues, her slums –
Oh God! the stark, unutterable pity,
To be dead, and never again behold my city!

Which line indicates the shift in the poems tone?
1) “What to me then will be the keenest loss,”
2) “O God! the stark, unutterable pity,”
3) “But, ah! Manhattan’s sights and sounds, her smells,”
4) “Will it be no more shall I see the trees?”
