Kad u sobu ja se vratih, celom dušom tad zaplamtih:
Jači nešto malo više, udarci se ponoviše.
“Sigurno”, tad rekoh, “to je na prozoru sobe moje;
Pogledaću časom ko je, kakve se tu tajne skriše.
Mirno, srce, da vidimo kakve se tu tajne skriše –
Vetar to je, ništa više.
(nastaviće se)
Back into the chamber turning, all my sour within me burning,
Soon again I heard a tapping something louder than before.
“Surely,” said I, “surely that is something at my window lattice;
Let me see, then, what thereat is and this mystery explore–
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore;–
‘Tis the wind and nothing more.
