Nevermore
First published in January 1845.
Poe’s great love Lenore and the Raven
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 visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door —
Only this, and nothing more.”
Edgar Allan Poe

Thank you to Ida Mary Walker the beautiful model.
