Oh! Lady kind—Lenore! Lenore!

Let my soul’s impassioned tale,

With a heart so gentle and pure as thine,

In its truthfulness prevail.

Oh! Lady dear—Lenore! Lenore!

I have loved thee deep and long,

And I love thee now, and for evermore,—

Give ear to my pleading song!

Oh! Lady true—Lenore! Lenore!

Like yon constant stars above,
