They thought that the worst would happen and nothing good would come up, they expected the worse without knowing that things will always get better.

I say drop a mouse into a poem and watch him probe his way out,
The author is representing the reader as a mouse and saying to drop the mouse into the poem, otherwise saying for the reader to read into the poem. Watch him probe his way out is the author saying the mouse would have a hard time, and saying the reader could have a hard time understanding what they're reading.
