[00:03.043]Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
[00:09.835]Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
[00:15.765]While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
[00:21.277]As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
[00:27.938]'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, 'tapping at my chamber door -
[00:33.998]Only this, and nothing more.'
[00:38.256]Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
[00:44.264]And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
[00:50.064]Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow
[00:55.732]From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore -
[01:02.106]For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore -
[01:07.043]Nameless here for evermore.
[01:11.954]And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
[01:17.727]Thrilled me - filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
[01:22.455]So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating
[01:28.464]'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door -
[01:33.087]Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door; -
[01:38.965]This it is, and nothing more,'
[01:43.954]Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
[01:48.761]'Sir,' said I, 'or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
[01:53.672]But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
[01:59.079]And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
[02:03.990]That I scarce was sure I heard you' - here I opened wide the door; -
[02:10.468]Darkness there, and nothing more.
[02:15.014]Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
[02:21.806]Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before
[02:26.638]But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token,
[02:32.882]And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, 'Lenore!'
[02:39.595]This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, 'Lenore!'
[02:47.510]Merely this and nothing more.
[02:52.343]Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,
[02:58.482]Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
[03:03.680]'Surely,' said I, 'surely that is something at my window lattice;
[03:10.054]Let me see then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore -
[03:15.487]Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore; -
[03:21.365]'Tis the wind and nothing more!'
