Plz me
deep into that darkness peering, long i stood there wondering,
fearing.
doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream
before;
but the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
and the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "lenore! "
this i whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "lenore! "-
merely this, and nothing more.
back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,
soon again i heard a tapping something louder than before.
"surely," said i, "surely that is something at my window lattice;
let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore- let my heart be still a
moment and this mystery explore; -
'tis the wind and nothing more! "
