Question

Here comes the pendulum ever nearer,

My death, it seems, has become clearer.

The raven comes and sends me a scene,

Of Helen, Lenore, and a dream within a dream.

Ever pounding in my chest,

My tell-tale heart seeks to rest.

Annabelle Lee, a mighty queen

She floats through my dreams.

I see the oval portrait up on the wall,

And think to myself "how the Ushers did fall"

A black cat walks by, followed by a gold bug,

And I think I will die on this rug.

Goodbye, cruel world, my heart shall rend,

For I cannot see the lighthouse at it's end.
