Explanation:

The poem The raven by Edgar Allan Poe opened with the narrator feeling weak and tired, he was starting to fall asleep when he heard a tapping noise like someone was gently knocking on his chamber door. The following lines:

''While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,

As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door'',

clearly show that the narrator was starting to relax when he heard tapping.
