Consider the following poem:
"Silver moon drapes the silent lake,
A distant owl hoots, breaking the hush.
Lanterns flicker on the shore,
Their soft glow dances with the night wind."
How does the interplay of visual and auditory imagery in the poem contribute to the overall mood? Cite specific lines.
