Answer:

The speaker informs the readers that it’s very late at night in the first line. The first stanza also implies that he’s in his “chamber” at home among “many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore”:

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 some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

sorry if im incorrect i didnt understand what u meeant
