Od svilenog, tužnog šuma iz zastora od baršuna
Nikada pre osećani užasi me zahvatiše;
Dok mi srce snažno bije, ja ga mirim sve hrabrije:
“Putnik moli da se skrije od te noći, bure, kiše.
Putnik kuca na ta vrata, da se skrije ispred kiše.
Samo to je, ništa više.”
(nastaviće se)
And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me–filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating
“‘Tis some visiter entreating entrance at my chamber door–
Some late visiter entreating entrance at my chamber door;
This it is and nothing more.”
