Once upon a midnight dreary, while 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,
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."

Who knows what beautiful piece of literature this is from?

Not as many as you'd think, Poe is my inspiration in writing and I was curious to see who actually cared enough to think about where this came from (:
