Text:

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.

Is it mournful?

britanyashton · Answer

hmm well the key to this answer is to identify what the author means by "knell", 
hint: also identify where this object will be sounded(its sounded in a time of loss[another hint])

britanyashton · Answer

maybe another word to help to identify this is to ask yourself "what does rue mean?"
