from The Ravenby Edgar Allen Poe

• Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered
  weak and weary,
• Over many a quaint and curious volume of
  forgotten lore.
• And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each
  purple curtain
• Thrilled mefilled me with fantastic terrors
  never felt before
• Deep into the darkness peering, long I stood
  there wondering, fearing,
• Doubting dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to
  dream before.
