Indicates a state of reality.
Indicative verbs state what is going on at that moment, or what could very possibly happen.
e.g "I run through the forest".
In my opinion, the whole poem is quite ironic - although she is mentioning the exultation and the royal color of death, the poem itself begins with the narrator saying that she cannot breathe - that she doesn't want to die.
So, I would say that the ironic parts are:
Exultation is the going
Of an inland soul to sea, -
Past the houses, past the headlands,
Into deep eternity!
Let me start from the beginning - just a little bit, basically Mr. Ewell was angry at Atticus for what he'd said at trial about his daughter - that in the end he decided to attack Jem and Scout in the woods.
BUT, Jem heroically got Scout out of the way - risking his own life. To make matters worse, though, poor Jem did end up with a broken arm.
I hope all is well and you pass! (: Good luck, rockstar! If you have any follow up questions, let me know! This book is still fairly fresh in my mind! (:
