Much I marvelled this ungainly
Fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaning
Little relevancy bore;
For we cannot help agreeing
That no living human being
Ever yet was blessed with seeing
Bird above his chamber door
Bird or beast upon the sculptured
Bust above his chamber door,
With such name as ''Nevermore.''
Then this ebony bird beguiling
My sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum
Of the countenance it wore,
Though thy crest be shorn and shaven,
Thou, I said, art sure no craven,
Ghastly, grim and ancient Raven
Wandering from the Nightly shore
Tell me what thy lordly name is
On the Night's Plutonian shore!
Quoth the Raven, ''Nevermore.''
Open here I flung the shutter,
When, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately Raven
Of the saintly days of yore.
Not the least obeisance made he;
Not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady,
Perched above my chamber door
Perched upon a bust of Pallas
Just above my chamber door
Perched, and sat, nothing more.
Back into the chamber turning,
All my soul within me burning,
Soon I heard again a tapping
Somewhat louder than before.
Surely, said I, surely that is
Something at my window lattice;
Let me see, then, what thereat is,
And this mystery explore
Let my heart be still a moment
And this mystery explore;
Tis the wind and nothing more.
Deep into that darkness peering,
Long I stood there, wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals
Ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken,
And the stillness gave no token,
Was the whispered word, ''Lenore?''
This I whispered, and an echo
Murmured back the word, ''Lenore!''
Merely this and nothing more.
That I scarce was sure I heard you
Here I opened wide the door:
Darkness there and nothing more.
