Question

During the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing alone, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of country; and at length found myself, as the shades of evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher.

Answer 1

A gloomy and bleak piece of a poem.

Answer 2

Gloomy and Bleak.

Step-by-step explanation:

The narrator mentions that he found himself "within view of the melancholy House of Usher". Also, phrases such as

"dull, dark, and soundless day"

"clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing alone, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of country" all suggests to the sense of aloofness, the bleak and gloomy nature of the narration.
