The Raven

• 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."
