The tone in poetry is the way in which the poem is particularly sounding, whether it has to do with the words that are being said or the modulation within the words.
Example:
(excerpt from Rudyard Kipling's "If")
"If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:"
The tone from this excerpt is very inspiring and uplifting, from the rhythm of the rhyming to the words that are being said.
Significance:
The tone in a poem is significant because it creates a feeling for all reading it. Through a tone, the author can portray the exact message he or she is trying to explain.
