《The Raven》歌词

[00:00:00] The Raven - Basil Rathbone/Edgar Allan Poe

[00:00:00] Once upon a midnight dreary

[00:00:03] While I pondered weak and weary

[00:00:06] Over many a quaint

[00:00:07] And curious volume of forgotten lore

[00:00:10] While I nodded

[00:00:11] Nearly napping

[00:00:13] Suddenly there came a tapping

[00:00:14] As of some one gently rapping

[00:00:16] Rapping at my chamber door

[00:00:18] "'Tis some visitor " I muttered

[00:00:20] "tapping at my chamber door

[00:00:22] Only this and nothing more "

[00:00:25] Ah distinctly I remember

[00:00:29] It was in the bleak December

[00:00:31] And each separate dying ember wrought

[00:00:34] It's ghost upon the floor

[00:00:36] Eagerly I wished the morrow

[00:00:38] Vainly I had sought to borrow

[00:00:40] From my books surcease of sorrow

[00:00:44] Sorrow for the lost Lenore

[00:00:47] For the rare and radiant maiden

[00:00:49] Whom the angels name Lenore-

[00:00:52] Nameless here for evermore

[00:00:55] And the silken sad

[00:00:56] Uncertain rustling of each purple curtain

[00:00:59] Thrilled me filled me

[00:01:01] With fantastic terrors never felt before;

[00:01:04] So that now to still the beating of my heart

[00:01:06] I stood repeating

[00:01:07] "'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door

[00:01:10] Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door

[00:01:13] This it is and nothing more "

[00:01:16] Presently my soul grew stronger

[00:01:18] Hesitating then no longer

[00:01:19] "Sir " said I "or Madam

[00:01:22] Truly your forgiveness I implore;

[00:01:23] But the fact is I was napping

[00:01:25] And so gently you came rapping

[00:01:26] And so faintly you came tapping

[00:01:28] Tapping at my chamber door

[00:01:29] That I scarce was sure I heard you"

[00:01:31] Here I opened wide the door

[00:01:35] Darkness there and nothing more

[00:01:39] Deep into that darkness peering

[00:01:41] Long I stood there wondering fearing

[00:01:45] Doubting dreaming dreams no mortal

[00:01:47] Ever dared to dream before

[00:01:49] But the silence was unbroken

[00:01:53] And the stillness gave no token

[00:01:56] And the only word

[00:01:57] There spoken was the whispered word "Lenore"

[00:02:03] This I whispered

[00:02:05] And an echo murmured back the word "Lenore "-

[00:02:09] Merely this and nothing more

[00:02:12] Back into the chamber turning

[00:02:13] All my soul within me burning

[00:02:15] Soon again I heard a tapping

[00:02:17] Somewhat louder than before

[00:02:19] "Surely " said I "surely

[00:02:21] That is something at my window lattice:

[00:02:23] Let me see then

[00:02:23] What thereat is and this mystery explore-

[00:02:25] Let my heart be still a moment

[00:02:27] And this mystery explore;-

[00:02:28] 'Tis the wind and nothing more"

[00:02:30] Open here I flung the shutter

[00:02:32] When with many a flirt and flutter

[00:02:36] In there stepped a stately Raven of

[00:02:39] The saintly days of yore;

[00:02:41] Not the least obeisance made he

[00:02:43] Not a minute stopped or stayed he;

[00:02:45] But with mien of lord or lady

[00:02:48] Perched above my chamber door-

[00:02:51] Perched upon a bust of Pallas

[00:02:52] Just above my chamber door

[00:02:55] Perched and sat and nothing more

[00:03:00] Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling

[00:03:04] By the grave and stern decorum of

[00:03:05] The countenance it wore

[00:03:07] "Though thy crest be shorn and shaven

[00:03:10] Thou " I said "art sure no craven

[00:03:13] Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering

[00:03:15] From the Nightly shore-

[00:03:17] Tell me what thy lordly name is on

[00:03:20] The Night's Plutonian shore "

[00:03:22] Quoth the Raven "Nevermore "

[00:03:27] Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl

[00:03:29] To hear discourse so plainly

[00:03:32] Though its answer little meaning

[00:03:33] Little relevancy bore;

[00:03:34] For we cannot help agreeing

[00:03:37] That no living human being

[00:03:39] Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird

[00:03:41] Above his chamber door-

[00:03:43] Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust

[00:03:46] Above his chamber door

[00:03:48] With such name as "Nevermore "

[00:03:51] But the Raven

[00:03:52] Sitting lonely on the placid bust spoke only

[00:03:55] That one word as if his soul in

[00:03:58] That one word he did outpour

[00:04:00] Nothing further then he uttered

[00:04:03] Not a feather then he fluttered-

[00:04:05] Till I scarcely more than muttered

[00:04:07] "Other friends have flown before-

[00:04:10] On the morrow he will leave me

[00:04:13] As my hopes have flown before "

[00:04:16] Then the bird said "Nevermore "

[00:04:21] Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken

[00:04:24] "Doubtless " said I

[00:04:25] "what it utters is its only stock and store

[00:04:29] Caught from some unhappy master

[00:04:33] Whom unmerciful Disaster

[00:04:35] Followed fast and followed faster

[00:04:37] Till his songs one burden bore-

[00:04:39] Till the dirges of his Hope

[00:04:41] That melancholy burden bore

[00:04:42] Of 'Never- nevermore' "

[00:04:47] But the Raven still beguiling all my fancy into smiling

[00:04:50] Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird

[00:04:53] And bust and door;

[00:04:56] Then upon the velvet sinking

[00:04:57] I betook myself to linking

[00:05:00] Fancy unto fancy thinking

[00:05:03] What this ominous bird of yore

[00:05:06] What this grim ungainly ghastly

[00:05:10] Gaunt and ominous bird of yore

[00:05:12] Meant in croaking "Nevermore "

[00:05:17] This I sat engaged in guessing

[00:05:18] But no syllable expressing

[00:05:19] To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned

[00:05:22] Into my bosom's core;

[00:05:24] This and more I sat divining

[00:05:27] With my head at ease reclining

[00:05:30] On the cushion's velvet lining

[00:05:32] That the lamp-light gloated o'er

[00:05:34] But whose velvet violet lining

[00:05:36] With the lamp-light gloating o'er

[00:05:38] She shall press ah nevermore

[00:05:43] Then methought the air grew denser

[00:05:47] Perfumed from an unseen censer

[00:05:49] Swung by Seraphim

[00:05:52] Whose footfalls tinkled on the tufted floor

[00:05:55] "Wretch " I cried "thy God hath lent thee

[00:05:59] By these angels he hath sent thee

[00:06:01] Respite- respite and nepenthe

[00:06:04] From thy memories of Lenore

[00:06:06] Quaff oh quaff this kind nepenthe

[00:06:10] And forget this lost Lenore "

[00:06:14] Quoth the Raven "Nevermore "

[00:06:18] "Prophet " said I "thing of evil

[00:06:20] Prophet still if bird or devil

[00:06:22] Whether Tempter sent

[00:06:23] Or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore

[00:06:25] Desolate yet all undaunted

[00:06:26] On this desert land enchanted

[00:06:28] On this home by Horror haunted

[00:06:30] Tell me truly I implore

[00:06:32] Is there- is there balm in Gilead

[00:06:34] Tell me- tell me I implore "

[00:06:37] Quoth the Raven "Nevermore "

[00:06:40] "Prophet " said I "thing of evil

[00:06:43] Prophet still if bird or devil

[00:06:44] By that Heaven that bends above us

[00:06:46] By that God we both adore

[00:06:48] Tell this soul with sorrow laden if

[00:06:51] Within the distant Aidenn

[00:06:52] It shall clasp a sainted maiden

[00:06:54] Whom the angels name Lenore

[00:06:56] Clasp a rare and radiant maiden

[00:06:59] Whom the angels name Lenore "

[00:07:02] Quoth the Raven "Nevermore "

[00:07:05] "Be that word our sign in parting

[00:07:07] Bird or fiend " I shrieked upstarting

[00:07:09] "Get thee back into the tempest

[00:07:11] And the Night's Plutonian shore

[00:07:13] Leave no black plume as a token of

[00:07:15] That lie thy soul hath spoken

[00:07:17] Leave my loneliness unbroken

[00:07:18] Quit the bust above my door

[00:07:21] Take thy beak from out my heart

[00:07:23] And take thy form from off my door "

[00:07:27] Quoth the Raven "Nevermore "

[00:07:33] And the Raven never flitting

[00:07:37] Still is sitting still is sitting

[00:07:40] On the pallid bust of Pallas

[00:07:42] Just above my chamber door

[00:07:45] And his eyes have all the seeming

[00:07:47] Of a demon's that is dreaming

[00:07:49] And the lamp-light o'er him streaming

[00:07:52] Throws his shadow on the floor;

[00:07:53] And my soul from out that shadow

[00:07:57] That lies floating on the floor

[00:08:00] Shall be lifted- nevermore
