Cierta medianoche aciaga, con la mente fatigada,
revisaba unos libracos de saber inmemorial
y asentía, adormecido, cuando rechinó un postigo,
como si alguien, con sigilo, golpeara mi portal.
«Es –me dije– un visitante que golpea mi portal;
solo eso y nada más.»

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 a chamber door.
“’Tis some visiter”, I muttered, “Tapping at my chamber door—
Only this and nothing more.”
