The option that best describes the mood created in Lawrence's poem "The White Horse" is calm and peaceful. The poem recounts the soundless and almost ceremonial encounter between a young person and a white horse, when the former is placing a halter on the latter, which accepts it with extreme docility. The communion between the two beings is so great, so exceptional, that they seem to be part of another world, a world that is inhabited by, and that belong to, just the two of them.
