Question

Q.II Read the poems given below and answer the questions. 'Be the Best' If you can’t be a pine on the top of the hill, Be a scrub in the valley—but be The best little scrub by the side of the rill, Be a bush if you can’t be a tree If you can’t be a bush be a bit of the grass, And some highway happier make; If you can’t be a muskie then just be a bass But be the liveliest bass in the lake! We can’t all be captains, we’ve got to be crew, There’s something for all of us here There’s big work to do and there’s lesser to do, And the task we must do is the near. If you can’t be a highway then just be a trait If you can’t be the sun, be a star, It isn’t by size that you win or you fail Be the best of whatever you are! 1. What is the poet’s tone in the poem ?
