Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, / Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— / While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, / As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. / “’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door— / Only this and nothing more.”[view all texts]
