To answer this question for yourself, consider the following additional questions: What is tone? Which piece of writing am I looking at? Poe wrote many poems and short stories. What do you feel when you read them?
Do you think that they are lighthearted and fun? Or are they dark and mysterious? Do they have happy endings, or end with tragedy or prolonged fear?
Think about "dark" and "light" ... do you think of scary things when you think "dark" and happy things when you think "light"?
I believe you would agree that the majority of Poe's poems and stories would be considered "dark." For clues into what he meant by some of his works, you might look at his biography.
"Tone" in literature is roughly equivalent to "tone of voice." You can use the exact same words with different people, but depending upon your tone of voice, you may get very different reactions. "Tone" in literature is produced by using words that have feelings associated with them.
Just relax and read it over again ... and see how the words used give you a particular feeling.
In general, Poe's works have a foreboding tone. Wouldn't you agree?
