|
The clock struck midnight |
|
And through my sleeping |
|
I heard a tapping at my door |
|
I looked but nothing lay in the darkness |
|
And so I turned inside once more |
|
To my amazement |
|
There stood a raven |
|
Whose shadow hung above my door |
|
Then through the silence |
|
It spoke the one word |
|
That I shall hear for evermore |
|
Nevermore |
|
Thus quoth the raven, nevermore |
|
And still the raven remains in my room |
|
No matter how much I implore |
|
No words can soothe him |
|
No prayer remove him |
|
And I must hear for evermore |
|
Quoth the raven, nevermore |
|
Nevermore |
|
Thus quoth the raven, nevermore |
