Raven (Leave My Loneliness Unbroken)

"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil"
Prophet still, if bird or devil
By that Heaven that bends above us
By that God we both adore
Tell this soul with sorrow laden if
Within the distant Aidenn
It shall clasp a sainted maiden
Whom the angels name Lenore
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden
Whom the angels name Lenore
Quoth the Raven "Nevermore"

Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend"
I shrieked, upstarting
"Get thee back into the tempest
And the Night's Plutonian shore
Leave no black plume as a token
Of that lie thy soul hath spoken
Leave my loneliness unbroken
Quit the bust above my door
Take thy beak from out my heart
And take thy form from off my door!"
Quoth the Raven "Nevermore"

And the Raven, never flitting
Still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas
Just above my chamber door
And his eyes have all the seeming
Of a demon's that is dreaming
And the lamp-light o'er him
Streaming throws his shadow on the floor
And my soul from out
That shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted, nevermore
