Firstly, it is important to highlight the meaning of paraphrasing. To paraphrase is to use a sentence and rewrite it keeping the original meaning, but using different words, as was done in the poem above.
The poem provides the conversation between a dead man and his friend, who is still alive. In the first three verses, the man wants to know what is happening in the land that he plowed, cared for and cultivated. He wants to know if everything is as he left it. The latest verses describe the friend's response, who says that everything is the same, except for the presence of the man who is now dead.

If your options are: <span>A. Restful, B. Hopeful, C. Excited, and D. Depressed - in my opinion, the correct answer is B. Hopeful. The speaker is not restful, nor is this pure excitement or depression. He is rather distressed because of all the troubles he mentions, but he still tries to reconcile with the fact that life is what it is - it mixes sunshine with the clouds and the rain, and treats all people equally. These thoughts underline hope. He still grieves, but hope won't let him turn the grief into despair.</span>
