Lenore was a beautiful young woman who died suddenly, leaving her lover devastated by grief. On a moonlit night, the man believes he sees Lenore riding towards him on a pale horse. Overcome with joy and disbelief, he follows the horse into an unknown forest, only to find that his reunion with Lenore was just an illusion brought on by his intense longing and sorrow over her death.
