Tone

Definition: The way a reader reads a poem or his/her attitude towards the poem.
Example: "And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise..." I would read this line as kind and informative, while another may read this line as scolding and lecturing.
Significance: The tone of the poem determines the mood and how the reader interprets it.
