The poet says that hope "sings the tune without the words." Why might the poet have written that the tune has no words?

• to point out that it is very difficult for people to express whether they feel hopeful or not
• To suggest that people are usually unable to understand the feeling of hope
• To indicate that people who are always hopeful are also often forgetful
