Answer:

The poet's word choice in these lines conveys a tone of danger.

Explanation:

The author makes an emphasis on the strength of the wind against the foundation (stiff fingers) describing a very dangerous situation. Even though with words like "melancholy" he also creates other feelings in the reader, the main focus of the text is on how dangerous the situation is.
