Explanation:

Tone is basically how the voice of the narrator, dialogue, etc is conveyed to the reader. The voice can be really formal, or casual/informal, or maybe some mix of the two. Tone also determines if the story is a sad one, or it could be happy, or some other emotion.

hello,

your answer is a) the metaphor suggests that the poetic themes are serious and dark.

collins is comparing the poem to a dark room. he is suggesting that the poems theme is serious and wants you to understand it. you don't need to understand the poet in order to understand the poem. you also don't need to move around while reading it. he is simply saying the poem has a dark and serious theme.
