And indeed there will be time
for the yellow smoke that slides along the street,
rubbing its back upon the window panes;
there will be time, there will be time
to prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;
there will be time to murder and create,
and time for all the works and days of hands
that lift and drop a question on your plate;
which phrase from the excerpt most clearly conveys the speaker's leisurely tone?

And indeed there will be time.

This line conveys a relaxed and leisurely tone. The speaker states that "indeed there will be time," which implies that the time for all of this is not now. Moreover, it conveys the feeling that the speaker is not particularly worried about when the time is going to come. He seems satisfied by simply knowing that there will be time.
