ASSONANCE

While I pondered weak and weary

Suddenly there came a tapping, as of someone gently rapping

And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor

[T]he Raven, sitting lonely [...] spoke only, That one word, as if his soul [...] he did outpour.

...and so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door

rustling of each purple curtain, Thrilled me—filled me

The Raven
