Definition: Tone is the emotion,level, or pitch in your voice or sounds.
Significance: Tone is very important for reading poems and also to show how does the poet wants you to read it out which can help you understand better.
Example:
I'm going out to clean the pasture spring; (light, informing tone)
I'll only stop to rake the leaves away ("only" tone - reservation)
And wait to watch the water clear, I may: (supplementary, possibility)
I sha'n't be gone long. -- You come too. (free tone, assuring) (after thought, inviting)
