The Raven

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,

And the only word there spoken

Was the whispered, and en echo

Murmured back the word, "lenore!"

This I whispered, and an echo 

Murmured back the word, "lenore!"

Merely this, and nothing more.
