Many glossaries of literary terms do not distinguish between tone and mood, attributing to them the same definition.

The feeling that the story induces in the reader.

Some glossaries how do have separate connotations for the two terms.

  • Tone: the attitude portrayed by the narrator of the story. As in 'tone of voice'.
  • Mood: the feeling, tension or emotions conveyed by the characters in the story.

The mood of a poem refers to the atmosphere of it. The mood can be defined with descriptions of the setting and the time. The tone is defined by the attitude of the person writing the poem. This can be seen in the words that are used.
