Answer 2

Answer:

D. Hope

Explanation:

Hi!

So in this paragraph, "morning star" is a metaphor for hope.

As we can see in the poem, the first line The light which puts out our eyes is darkness to us is symbolic of good and evil. The light represents the hope, the good; and the darkness represents the bad, suffering. Also, the line There is more day to dawn also represents the triumph of light over dark, the good over the bad, the hope over dispair. Therefore, given that symbolism, we can conclude that the sun is but a morning star means that the sun is the hope that each new day brings.
