"The Raven" as read by James Earl Jones

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 someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
" 'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door;
Only this, and nothing more."

1. "The Raven" is probably the most translated poem in English.

It works well in many languages, for some reason.

Well, ........ it has a plot..........

Not so common in poetry.
