11 The Raven
Select the correct answer.
by Edgar Allen Poe (adapted excerpt)
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak
and weary
Who did the speaker think was "rapping at the chamber door"?
ОА.
an illusion
OB
a visitor
OC. a maiden
OD.
a raven
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.'
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its form upon
the floor
Eagerly I wished the morrow; -vainly I had sought to
borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the
lost Lenore -
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name
Lenore -
Nameless here for evermore.
