Explanation:

The poem under discussion here is tiled "The Raven" and it was written by "Edgar Allan Poe"

The first stanza goes thus "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 at my chamber door. “’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door— Only this and nothing more.”

The statement that most accurately paraphrases the meaning of the first stanza is "As I sat in my study one night, feeling depressed as looked over a bunch of old books I heard a knock on my door."
