How does the allusion affect the mood of this passage?

The mood is sad, as if Blake is regretting the loss of the Garden of Eden.
It creates an intellectual mood because Blake knows so much about the Bible.
The mood is reassuring because Blake reminds the reader that God created the Garden of Eden for humanity.
It creates a negative mood, as if Blake is warning the reader of potential dangers ahead.
