Question

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December; And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I wished the morrow; – vainly I had sought to borrow From my books surcease of sorrow – sorrow for the lost Lenore – For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore – Nameless here for evermore. Which point of view is used in the passage?

Answer 1

The poem is told in First Point of View.

How, and why?

"Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December;-"

"Eagerly I wished the morrow;- vainly I had sought to borrow From my books surcease of sorrow-"

The fact that the poem uses " I and my" can give you a clear idea that the speaker is reffering to himself/herself. Therefore it is in first person point of view.
