Tone is the author's attitude towards the writing, since the author can't use sound in their words he uses diction, which is the selection of words that help create a clear message for the reader.

The lines that contain diction are:

It was a lovely sight to see.

  • The writer lets the reader know he was pleased with the sight with the choice of words lovely sight.

Amid the jagged shadows

  • The words jagged shadows help the writer to create a dark environment.

To make her gentle vows

  • The writer uses the word gentle to speak about a person that is kind.

Her face, oh call it fair not pale

  • Call it fair not pale, with this choice of words you can tell the writer has emotions towards her.
