Answer:

In stanza 13 of the poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe, the narrator is nostalgic.

Step-by-step explanation:

The narrator in this stanza asks the raven whether there is "balm in Gilead," an allusion to a biblical scripture that describes a comforting salve that could mend wounds. In essence, the narrator is asking if the suffering and anguish he is experiencing may be eased. This demonstrates a sense of nostalgia—a yearning for solace and release from one's sorrow. As a result, in verse 13, the narrator is sentimental.
