once

"...once...
up on a midnight dreary
while i pondered...weak, and weary...
over many an ancient volume of forgotten lore
suddenly there came a tapping as of someone gently rapping
someone gently tapping on my chamber door...only this and nothing more...."

ah...distinctly i [DO] remember...it was in a bleak december with the ghost of each dying ember
wrought upon the floor...only this and nothing more....(sorry man, but eddy really could tell stories.)
