One of the first critics to comment on a connection between Poe and the speaker in "Annabel Lee" is John Cowper Powys, in his 1915 work Visions and Revisions: A Book of Literary Devotions.

A DREAM: In visions of the dark night I have dreamed of joy departed- But a waking dream of life and light Hath left me broken-hearted Ah! what is not a dream by day To him whose eyes are cast On things around him with a ray Turned back upon the part? The holy dream-that holy dream While all the world were chiding, Hath cheered me as a lovely beam A lonely spirit guiding What though that light, thro' storm and night, So trembled from afar- What could there be more purely bright In Truth's day-star? take care dave

Since the poem is about a man whose fiancee or wife dies, I'd be willing to bet the mood is pretty somber. And negative.

well, the tone is the speakers feelings toward the subject... so... the subject is his long lost wife, thus the tone would somewhat reminicent, elegaic, negative tones like this.
