S2 'The Raven' Homework

Due 21st November

Write your own stanza which imitates the second stanza of The Raven. Ensure you replicate rhyme scheme, internal rhyme, rhythm, alliteration and patterns of repetition. You should also echo the tone and mood of sadness/melancholy in the poem.


Ah, distinctly I remember, it was in the bleak December,                      A
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.          B
Eagerly I wished the morrow; vainly I had sought to borrow                  C
From my books surcease of sorrow, sorrow for the lost Lenore.           B
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore,             B
Nameless here forevermore.                                                                B
