Antecedent Scenario: Well if I had to make an educated guess I would say that Pablo Neruda was studying a lemon to great extend before writing this poem.
Tone: The overall tone I got from "A Lemon" was admiration and passion. Now that might seem weird to have admiration for a lemon but what I believe Pablo Neruda was going for was the lemon's great qualities and how it can be applied to everyone and everything.
Agency: The main agent in this poem is the lemon. The lemon does not change throughout the poem. The lemon only gets described in more detail as the poem progresses.
Just by reading this post I feel that I have truly grasped the meaning of the poem you chose.
