'You amble on we can no longer

wait for nature's course

we must deliver

you with force'

Amelia House, 'Our Sun Rises'

The mood in the lines above is one of

fear
indignation
joy
sorrow

Explanation

The poem suggests anger and frustration. Words like "we can no longer wait" and "we must deliver you with force" indicate a sense of urgency and compulsion. This suggests the speaker is no longer willing to tolerate delay—a clear sign of indignation (defined as righteous anger or displeasure).
