What is the overall tone of this poem?

hap
by thomas hardy

if but some vengeful god would call to me
from up the sky, and laugh: ā€œthou suffering thing,
know that thy sorrow is my ecstasy,
that thy loveā€™s loss is my hateā€™s profiting! ā€
then would i bear, and clench myself, and die,
steeled by the sense of ire unmerited;
half-eased, too, that a powerfuller than i
had willed and meted me the tears i shed.

but not so. how arrives it joy lies slain,
and why unblooms the best hope ever sown?
ā€”crass casualty obstructs the sun and rain,
and dicing time for gladness casts a moanā€¦.
these purblind doomsters had as readily strown
blisses about my pilgrimage as pain.

a) reflective
b) fierce
c) pessimistic
d) vengeful
