Original lyrics
ENMidnight dreary, bleak December
Saintly days of yore
Suddenly a rapping, tapping
At my chamber door
Open wide entering darkness
Mystery explore
Only stillness silent terror
Whispered word Lenore
Nevermore
Nevermore
For the lost lenore
Then a rapping gentle tapping
Stately bird of yore
Prophet still or bird or devil
Tell me I implore
Respite, respite nepenthe
Lamplight gloating o'er
Never flitting, still is sitting
Night's plutonian shore
Nevermore
Nevermore
For the lost lenore
Nevermore (nevermore)
Grim ungainly, ghastly gaunt
Tempest's raging shore
On the pallid, bust of pallas
Eyes of blackest core
All the seeming, of a demon
Sorrow laden bore
Unmerciful, ancient raven
Not the lost lenore
Nevermore
Nevermore
For the lost lenore
Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore, nevermore
Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore
