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 there came a tapping, as of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. "Tis some visiter," I mutterd,"tapping at my chamber door. Only this, and nothing more.
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, and each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I wished the morrow;--vainly I had sought to borrow From my books sucease of sorrow ----sorrow for the lost lenore---For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore---Nameless here for evermore.
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 visiter entreating entrance at my chamber door----Some late visiter entreating entrance at my chamber door;---this it is, and nothing more."
And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies flating on the floor Shall be lifted--NEVERMORE!
(I did not stitch this, I borrowed it)
Even my fish are into Halloween.
