  • [Spoken Track]
  • [Poe:]
  • Once upon a midnight dreary
  • as 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

  • entrance at my chamber door

  • Deep into the darkness peering
  • long I stood there
  • wondering fearing
  • doubting dreaming fantasies
