*stanza 5*
deep into that darkness peering, long i stood there wondering, fearing,
doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
but the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
and the only word there spoken was the whispered word, “lenore? ”
this i whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, “lenore! ”—
merely this and nothing more.
