The Raven
Presently my soul grew stronger
Hesitating then no longer
Sir, said I
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 there and nothing more
And the Raven never flitting
Still is sitting
Still is sitting
Just above my chamber door
And his eyes have all the seeming
Of a demon's that is dreaming
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming
Throws his shadow on the floor
On the morrow he will leave me
As my Hopes have flown before
Then the bird said Nevermore
That I scarce was sure I heard you
Here I opened wide the door
That I scarce was sure I heard you
Here I opened wide the door
And my soul from out that shadow
That lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted—nevermore
Hesitating then no longer
Sir, said I
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 there and nothing more
And the Raven never flitting
Still is sitting
Still is sitting
Just above my chamber door
And his eyes have all the seeming
Of a demon's that is dreaming
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming
Throws his shadow on the floor
On the morrow he will leave me
As my Hopes have flown before
Then the bird said Nevermore
That I scarce was sure I heard you
Here I opened wide the door
That I scarce was sure I heard you
Here I opened wide the door
And my soul from out that shadow
That lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted—nevermore
