What happened to the narrator's love, lenore?

Okay, so I recognized "Lenore" from Edgar Allen Poe's poem, "The Raven."

The narrator's love, Lenore, died- this is supported by the following contextual evidence:

"From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore—

For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore—

           Nameless here for evermore."

Hopefully this helps you understand this illustrious poem better! It is one of my favorites.

the answer is "began" because it is a action that can be done
