The Raven

[00:08.
080] once [00:09.
760] upon a midnight dreary [00:13.
120] while i pondered weak and weary [00:17.
440] over many acquaintance curious volume of [00:21.
119] forgotten lore [00:24.
160] while i nodded nearly napping [00:27.
439] suddenly there came a tapping [00:30.
560] as of someone gently rapping [00:33.
760] rapping at my chamber door [00:37.
520] to some visitor i muttered tapping at my [00:41.
120] chambered door [00:43.
280] only this and nothing more [00:47.
200] ah distinctly i remember [00:51.
760] it was in the bleak december [00:55.
440] and each separate dying ember wrought [00:58.
480] its ghost upon the floor [01:02.
079] eagerly i wished the morrow vainly i had [01:06.
400] sought to borrow [01:08.
240] from my books cersei's of sorrow sorrow [01:11.
439] for the lost lenore [01:14.
240] for the rare and radiant maiden whom the [01:16.
960] angels [01:17.
680] name lenore nameless here [01:22.
240] forevermore [01:25.
040] and the silken sad uncertain rustling of [01:29.
280] each purple [01:30.
079] curtain thrilled me filled me [01:33.
360] with fantastic terrors never felt before [01:37.
920] so that now to still the beating of my [01:41.
119] heart i stood repeating [01:42.
720] to some visitor entreating entrance at [01:45.
040] my chambered door [01:47.
200] some late visitor entreating entrance at [01:49.
600] my chambered door [01:51.
600] this it is and nothing more [01:56.
000] presently my soul grew stronger [01:58.
079] hesitating then [01:59.
360] no longer sir said i [02:02.
560] or madam truly your forgiveness i [02:05.
439] implore [02:07.
040] but the fact is i was napping [02:10.
239] and so gently you came rapping and so [02:13.
360] faintly you came tapping tapping at my [02:16.
080] chamber door [02:18.
640] that i scarce was sure i heard you [02:22.
879] here i opened wide the door darkness [02:26.
400] there [02:27.
280] and nothing more [02:30.
319] deep into that darkness peering [02:34.
560] long i stood there wondering fearing [02:38.
480] doubting dreaming dreams no mortal ever [02:41.
519] dared to dream before [02:44.
800] but the silence was unbroken and the [02:47.
360] stillness gave no token [02:50.
239] and the only word there spoken was the [02:52.
239] whispered word [02:54.
239] lenore this i whispered [02:58.
400] and an echo murmured back the word [03:02.
840] lenore merely this [03:05.
280] and nothing more [03:08.
239] back into the chamber turning all my [03:10.
959] soul within me [03:12.
080] burning soon again i heard a tapping [03:15.
040] somewhat louder than before [03:17.
360] surely said i surely that is something [03:20.
400] at my window lattice let me [03:23.
519] see then what their at is [03:27.
120] and this mystery explore [03:30.
720] let my heart be still a moment in this [03:33.
440] mystery explore [03:35.
920] tis the wind nothing more [03:40.
879] open here i flung the shutter when [03:44.
959] with many a flirt and flutter in there [03:47.
840] stepped a stately raven of the [03:50.
080] saintly days of yore not the least [03:53.
680] obeisance made he [03:55.
280] not a minute stopped or stayed he [03:58.
400] but with the mean of lord or lady [04:02.
239] perched above my chamber door [04:05.
920] perched upon a bust of palace just above [04:09.
280] my chamber door [04:11.
280] perched and sat and nothing more [04:15.
840] then this ebony bird beguiling [04:20.
079] my sad fancy into smiling by the grave [04:23.
919] and stern decorum [04:25.
759] of the countenance it wore though thy [04:29.
199] crest be [04:30.
000] shorn and shaven thou i said [04:34.
320] art sure no craven ghastly grim and [04:37.
840] ancient [04:38.
400] raven wandering from the nightly shore [04:42.
160] tell me what the lordly name is on the [04:44.
639] night's plutonian [04:46.
080] shore quoth the raven [04:50.
080] nevermoor much i marveled [04:54.
400] this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so [04:57.
840] plainly [04:58.
880] though it's answer little meaning little [05:02.
080] relevancy [05:02.
960] bore for we cannot help agreeing [05:06.
639] that no living human being ever yet was [05:09.
680] blessed [05:10.
320] with seeing bird above his chambered [05:12.
560] door [05:14.
240] bird or beast upon the sculptured bust [05:16.
960] above his chamber [05:18.
160] door with such name as nevermore [05:24.
720] but the raven sitting lonely on the [05:27.
520] placid bust [05:28.
800] spoke only that one word as if his soul [05:32.
800] and that one word he did outpour [05:36.
320] nothing farther than he uttered [05:39.
360] not a feather then he fluttered [05:42.
400] till scarcely more than muttered [05:45.
520] other friends have flown before on the [05:48.
720] morrow he [05:50.
080] will leave me as my hopes have flown [05:53.
199] before [05:54.
880] and the bird said nevermore [05:59.
840] startled at the stillness broken by [06:03.
280] replies so aptly spoken [06:05.
759] doubtless said i what it utters is its [06:09.
280] only stock and store [06:11.
120] caught from some unhappy master whom [06:13.
280] unmerciful [06:14.
400] disaster followed fast and followed [06:17.
039] faster till his songs one burden bore [06:20.
880] till the dirges of his hope that [06:23.
360] melancholy [06:24.
400] burden bore of never [06:28.
720] nevermore [06:31.
440] but the ravens still beguiling [06:35.
440] all my fancy into smiling straight i [06:38.
960] wheeled a cushioned seat in front of [06:41.
520] bird [06:42.
240] and bust in door then upon [06:45.
759] the velvet sinking i betook myself to [06:49.
120] linking [06:50.
000] fancy undo fancy thinking [06:53.
039] what this ominous bird of yore [06:56.
800] with this grim ungainly ghastly gaunt [06:59.
919] and ominous bird of yore [07:02.
639] meant in croaking nevermore [07:05.
450] [Music] [07:08.
000] this i sat engaged in guessing [07:11.
680] but no syllable expressing to the foul [07:15.
120] whose fiery [07:16.
000] eyes now burned into my bosom's core [07:20.
240] this and more i sat divining [07:23.
520] with my head at eased reclining on the [07:26.
720] cushion's velvet lining that the [07:28.
639] lamplight gloated ore [07:31.
840] whose velvet violet lining with the lamp [07:34.
720] light gloating over [07:37.
440] she shall press ah [07:42.
319] nevermore [07:44.
639] then me thought the air grew denser [07:49.
400] perfumed from an unseen sensor [07:53.
280] swung by seraphim whose foot [07:56.
400] falls tinkled on the tufted floor [08:00.
720] wretch i cried thy god hath lengthy [08:04.
879] by these angels he hath sent thee [08:08.
479] respite respite in the [08:11.
840] from thy memories of lenore [08:15.
199] quaff o quaff this kind nepenthe [08:19.
280] and forget this lost lenore [08:22.

919] evil prophet still if bird or [08:35.
120] devil whether tempter sent or whether [08:38.
000] tempest [08:38.
559] tossed thee hereashore desolate yet all [08:42.
399] undaunted [08:43.
360] on this desert land enchanted on this [08:46.
480] home by horror haunted [08:48.
560] tell me truly i implore [08:53.
040] is there is there bomb in gilead [08:57.
440] tell me tell me i implore [09:00.
720] quoth the raven nevermore [09:05.
760] prophet said i thing of evil prophet [09:09.
279] still if bird or devil [09:11.
519] by that heaven that bends above us [09:14.
959] by that god we both adore [09:18.
399] tell this soul with sorrow laden if [09:20.
800] within the distant [09:22.
160] ayden it shall clasp a sainted maiden [09:26.
800] whom the angels named lenore [09:30.
959] clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the [09:33.
920] angels named lenore [09:36.
320] quoth the raven nevermore [09:41.
920] be that word our sign of parting bird or [09:45.
839] fiend [09:47.
120] i shrieked up get thee back into the [09:50.
880] tempest [09:51.
600] in the night's plutonian shore leave no [09:55.
040] black plume as a token of that [09:57.
200] lie that soul hath spoken [10:00.
399] leave my loneliness unbroken quit the [10:03.
040] bust above my [10:04.
079] door take thy beak from out of my heart [10:08.
560] and take thy form from off my door [10:13.
680] quoth the raven nevermore [10:18.
560] and the raven never flitting still is [10:21.
920] sitting [10:22.
800] still is sitting on the pallid [10:26.
399] bust of palace just above my chamber [10:29.
680] door [10:31.
839] his eyes have all the seeming of a [10:34.
240] demon's [10:34.
959] that is dreaming and the lamplight or [10:38.
399] him [10:39.
120] streaming throws his shadow on the floor [10:43.
600] and my soul from out that shadow [10:47.
120] that lies floating on the floor [10:50.
720] shall be lifted nevermore [11:01.
