    The tone of the poem "Lincoln Looked" is hopeful.

    This is because it begins with the idea that Abraham Lincoln was hopeful that the people of the United States would see the error in their ways, and work toward change. Then, the poem switches to a new type of hope, in which Lincoln can work toward a better world.
