The Raven-Edgar Allan Poe
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore-
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping-rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door- Only this and nothing more."
Ah, distinctly I remember, it was in the bleak December, and each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrrow;-vainly I had sought to borrow from my books surcease of sorrow-sorrow for the lost Lenore-
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore-Nameless here for evermore.
