What is the overall tone of this excerpt from "When We Two Parted" by Lord Byron?

They name thee before me,

A knell to mine ear;

A shudder comes o'er me-

Why wert thou so dear?

They know not I knew thee,

Who knew thee too well:--

Long, long shall I rue thee,

Too deeply to tell.

In secret we met-

In silence I grieve,

That thy heart could forget,

Thy spirit deceive.

If I should meet thee

After long years,

How should I greet thee!--

With silence and tears.

A: somber

B: distressful

C: bittersweet

D: joyful

    The answer is actually distressful. You can see this best in the lines,

    "Long, long shall I rue thee,

    Too deeply to tell.

    In secret we met-

    In silence I grieve"
