what was the mood of the poem The Raven??

Dear Andrew,If you read Poe's "The Philosophy of Composition", you will find that the mood he intended to create in his poem "The Raven" is a melancholic one, seeing that the speaker is mourning the death of his beloved Lenore. The essay offers a very detailed rationale behind the poem, and I think you will find it particularly helpful.
Feel free to e-mail me with any other queries:
Yours sincerely,
