Edgar Allen Poe

Edgar Allen Poe

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 I heard a tapping,
As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“ ‘Tis some visitor,” I muttered, tapping at my chamber door-
	Only this and nothing more

And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me- filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating
“ ‘Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door-
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;-

But the fact is I was napping and 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.

That was the beginning of my most famous poem, “The Raven.”  I also wrote The Tell-Tale Heart and “The Pit and the Pendulum.” I had a horrible time on this earth and a very short one, but I ended up
