What is the effect of the underlined section in developing the tone of this excerpt from "In a Queen's Domain" by Sarah Morgan Bryan Piatt?
My subjects, the lamb and the fawn,
They hide their heads in my breast;
And my subject, the dove, coos on,
Though my hand creep close to her nest.
But my subject, the bee, will sting;
And my subject, the thorn, will tear;
And my subject, the tiger, will spring
At me, with a cry and a glare.
My subjects, the lamb and the fawn,

Though my hand creep close to her nest.
But my subject, the bee, will sting;
And my subject, the thorn, will tear;
And my subject, the tiger, will spring
At me, with a cry and a glare.
