Once upon a midnight dreary...

:00:37

while I pondered,
weak and weary...

:00:40

over many a quaint and curious
volume of forgotten lore...

:00:45

while I nodded,
nearly napping...

:00:48

suddenly there came a tapping...

:00:50

as of someone gently rapping...

:00:53

rapping at my chamber door.

:00:56

"'Tis some visitor,"
l muttered...

:00:58

"Tapping at my chamber door...

:01:00

"only this, and nothing more."

:01:04

Distinctly I remember
it was in the bleak December...

:01:08

and each separate dying ember...

:01:10

wrought its ghost
upon the floor.

:01:12

Eagerly I wished
the morrow...

:01:15

vainly I had sought to borrow...

:01:17

from my books
surcease of sorrow...

:01:21

sorrow for the lost Lenore...

:01:23

for the rare
and radiant maiden...

:01:26

whom the angels name Lenore.

:01:29

Nameless here forevermore.

:01:33

And the silken sad
uncertain rustling...

:01:36

of each purple curtain
thrilled me...

:01:39

filled me with fantastic
terrors never felt before.

:01:43

So that now, to still
the beating of my heart...

:01:45

l stood repeating...

:01:47

"'Tis some visitor entreating
entrance at my chamber door.

:01:50

"Some late visitor entreating
entrance at my chamber door.

:01:56

"This it is...

:01:58

"and nothing more."
