    donovan reynolds.

    Once upon a midnight dreary,
    While I pondered weak and weary,
    Over a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore...
    While I nodded, nearly napping,
    Suddenly there came a tapping,
    As of someone gently rapping at my chamber door.
    "T'is some visitor" I muttered,
    "tapping at my chamber door. Only this and nothing more."

    This, quite obviously, is "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe.

    Probably everyone remembers this poem, or at least a part of it. I've always liked Edgar Allan Poe, and this was the first poem I ever read by him. It was in middle school, and we had to recite it in small pieces in groups. I had the first 4 stanzas. I only remember the first stanza, now, though. I wish I still remembered all of what I knew... Don't know why... heh.
