Tone/mood #8

Tone and mood sets is author's perspective on that subject affects the reader's view on the poem. For example in "To His Coy Mistress" Andrew Marvell expresses if only there was more time in the first stanza, and after he shifts his tone to trying to scare his coy mistress and the tonal shift becomes "Carpe Diem". Carpe Diem as the tone emphasizes the rush the author is at to sleep with the Coy Mistress while she is young and pure.
