All, distinctly remember n the bleak December,
Aud each dying ener wrought IFS ghost upon the hoo
From hooks surcease of for the lost enore-
Nameless here for evermore.
And the ken and rusns OF purple curtain

Presently soul hestang then longer.
ST. said or Madam. truly your forgiveness mplorej
But the fact mapping, and gently came ripping,
And family tapping tapping chamber door,
Darkness there and nothing more.
Deep into that darkness peerng stood there wondering
Doubling dreaming mortal dared dream before
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word lie
This whispered and echo word
Merely this and nothing MORE
Then into the ehsmher turning all soul within burning

In there stepped stately Of the sanity days OF yore
Not the least obeisance made instant stopped
But mien of lord lady peesd my
Perehed upon the bust of Pas just above my eamber door
Perehed and sat, and nothing more
Then ebony bird beguling my sad fancy into smiling
