This‚ at first‚ brought a much-needed amusement to our speaker‚ which was due to the resemblance of the solemn expression on the raven’s face to serious and relentless regard towards

The Raven: A Close Reading The entire poem including the first stanza‚ as scanned here‚ is octametre with mostly trochaic feet and some iams.

The external rhyme of the "or" sound in Lenore and nevermore
