Two poems are given below.

Poem A:
"Morning dew clings to the meadow's sigh,
A chorus of crickets greets the sky.
Hope rises with the amber sun,
Dreams awaken, the day's begun."

Poem B:
"Evening shadows stretch their cold hand,
Silence drapes the once‑bright land.
Despair settles as stars withdraw,
Night's lament sings without a flaw."

Compare the central themes of the two poems, identify a common underlying concern, and explain how each poet's perspective on that concern differs.
