that have to be done for success. “After great pain, a formal feeling comes” is a poem that has a sad tone at the beginning but eventually changes to a different tone. Another poem by Emily Dickenson “I never lost as much as twice” is a poem that stays with a neutral tone and can make the reader feel something depending on his or her experiences.

All of these scenes happen before the child is ultimately taken off to bed (Roethke 1-16) The interpretation of “My Papa’s Waltz” can be stirred by the poems diction, the poems connotation, and the authors tone.
