Success is counted sweetest

By those who ne'er succeed.

To comprehend a nectar

Requires sorest need.

Not one of all the purple Host

Who took the Flag today

Can tell the definition

So clear of victory

As he defeated – dying –

On whose forbidden ear

The distant strains of triumph

Burst agonized and clear!

The tone of the poem is very righteous. It depicts how bold the war is, but says it in a sweet way. The words that give this ambiance are words like "triumph", "succeed", and "agonized". They all display some sort of confidence in the poem but still remain charming. This poem is sort of ironic because even though war is tough and scary; it still brings a sense of victory and courage. Like the stanza in the poem
"As he defeated – dying –

On whose forbidden ear

The distant strains of triumph

Burst agonized and clear!"

The role of rhyme and rhythm is very strong in this poem. The second line in each stanza rhymes with the fourth and makes sense when reading two together. Like "On whose forbidden ear." and "Burt agonized and clear". This brings in the rhythm concept by making things go smoothly together when together or picked apart. This affects the tone by one of the lines being sweet and soothing and the other being bold and straightforward.
