In this poem, the tone is that cowboys are not heroic and they cause trouble wherever they go. There are so many poetic devices that she uses to help idenify the tone of the poem. the authors tone is clearly that her opinion will never be changed about cowboys and she feels as though she stands alone on this subject since she says : hands clasped in admiration, but i am elsewhere. Then what about me what about the i confronting you on that border you are always trying to cross? i am the horizon you ride towards, the thing you can never lasso.." shows that her opinion will always remain unchanged and theres nothing anyone can do to convince her otherwise.
