Which word best describes the mood of this stanza from Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven?"

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,

Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,

As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

"'Tis some visiter," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door-

Only this, and nothing more."

Tender

Gloomy

Warm

Painful
