The word "tramp" affects the tone of this line because it indicates the weariness of the speaker.

The verb to tramp means to walk heavily, usually when a person is tired or carrying something heavy. So, the poet here says that he is on a perpetual journey, meaning that it never ends and that he may be tired of walking the same path over and over again.
