What is the tone of the poem?
Explain the following:
They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude;
The eight other runners pulled up on their heels
The ones who had trained for so long to complete
one by one they all turned around and went back to help him
And brought the young boy to his feet.
Then all the nine runners joined hands and continued
The hundred-yard dash now reduced to a walk
And a banner above that said (Special Olympics)

They came to the finish line holding hands still
And a standing ovation and nine beaming faces
Said more than these words ever will.
