PLEASE HELP Read this stanza from "The Raven."

Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,

"Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;

And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,

That I scarce was sure I heard you"–here I opened wide the door–

Darkness there and nothing more.
