The Raven (Single version) Lyrics

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 someone gently rapping

Rapping at my chamber door

Nevermore

Nevermore

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 surcease of sorrow

Sorrow for the lost Lenore

Nevermore

Nevermore

And the Raven, never flitting

Still is sitting, still is sitting

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 floating on the floor

Nevermore

(Shall be lifted) Nevermore

Nevermore

Nevermore

Nevermore
