The raven

Halloween is coming soon and I wanted to share the first line of a poem called "The raven" written by Edgar Allan Poe.

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.'


If you practice telling this poem, you can run chills up and down spines with ease.


The full poem is rather long though.
