______

Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,


"Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door, That I
scarce was sure I heard you"--here I opened wide the door-- Darkness

By that Heaven that bends above us--by that God we both adore-Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,
It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore-- Clasp a
rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore."
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

______

Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,


"Doubtless," said I, "what it utters is its only stock and store,
Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster
Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore-Till the dirges of his Hope that melancholy burden bore
Of 'Never--nevermore.'"

And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I
wished the morrow;--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.
