Read the opening stanza of edgar allan 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 visitor," i muttered, "tapping at my chamber door—
only this and nothing more."
which best describes the tone of this poem?
angry and frustrated
melodramatic and somber
businesslike and matter-of-fac

The tone of this poem is melodramatic and somber.

Explanation:

In the first verse, there are adjectives dreary and weak that emphasize the melodramatic tone of the poem.  The somber atmosphere evokes a poetic picture of a dark night and someone who is a visitor ruins the quiet evening. The subject in the poem is sleeping and someone is disturbing his peace. There are not many actions in the first stanza of the poem. The melodramatic and somber tone of the poem is ruined by quiet knocking. Also ,the visitor is a raven who is only " tapping at my chamber door".
