• 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 visiter," 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 morrow; -- vainly I had tried 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.
