Such shift of tone is achieved by Housman’s use of sounds.

In the poem "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love", the poet uses alliteration to add importance and emphasis to add to the meaning of the poem.

The poet is telling his lover that he would make her happy in every way he can if she accepts his proposal. He assures his lover that there will be many delights and that they will enjoy all the pleasures that nature has to offer them (Marlowe, lines 1-24). Marlowe uses alliteration such as "The shepherds' swains shall dance and sing" (line 20) and other examples to illustrate, describe and emphasize how happy he would be if his lover agrees to come live with him. This use of alliteration helps to bring out the emotion of joy and happiness which the poet would feel if his lover agrees to live with him.
