The sentences that contribute to a sense of hope are "<span>She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. In the street below a peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which someone was singing reached her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves. There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds that had met and piled one above the other in the west facing her window." First of all, she sees trees that are trembling with new life. A peddler was selling his goods. She could hear a distant song which someone was singing, and songs usually mean good spirit in works of literature.

Answer:
If you are using it to start a new sentance, then yes you can, if not then you don't need to
Explanation:
https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/73524/should-a-capital-letter-be-used-after-an-ellipsis#targetText=If%20so%2C%20what%20follows%20is,the%20sentence%20without%20a%20capital.
This website says what I said up top. "If so, what follows is a new sentence, and it starts with a capital letter. If you think the ellipsis represents a delay within an as-yet-incomplete sentence, but you've decided you don't want indicate that delay using some other punctuation (comma, semicolon, etc.), then just continue the sentence without a capital."
Hope this helps! :)
