From "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe 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. (Highlighted words are dreary, napping and gently.) Which highlighted word in the passage from "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe is an adverb?
