Once upon a midnight ...
Ah, distinctly I remember ...
And the silken sad ...
Presently my soul grew ...
Deep into that darkness ...
Back into the chamber ...
Open here I flung ...
Then this ebony bird ...
Much I marvelled this ...
But the raven, sitting ...
Startled at the stillness ...
But the raven still ...
This I sat engaged ...
Then, methought, the air ...
`Prophet!' said I, `thing ...
`Prophet!' said I, `thing ...
`Be that word our ...
And the raven, never ...

Once upon a midnight ...

Ah, distinctly I remember ...

And the silken sad ...

Presently my soul grew ...

Deep into that darkness ...

Back into the chamber ...

Open here I flung ...

Then this ebony bird ...

Much I marvelled this ...

But the raven, sitting ...

Startled at the stillness ...

But the raven still ...

This I sat engaged ...

Then, methought, the air ...

`Prophet!' said I, `thing ...

`Prophet!' said I, `thing ...

`Be that word our ...

And the raven, never ...
