Two words that best describe the tone of Hughes' poem "Harlem" are definitely A tense and frustrated. Author uses negative phrases such as "stink like rotten meat" and many depressing words to maintain the frustrating tone of the poem. This poem rises many questions like poverty and oppressionthat are common among African-American, so the tone supposed to be that 'dark'.
