thomas sabo. nevermore.

But the raven still beguiling
All my sad soul into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat
in front of bird and bust and door;
Then, upon the velvet sinkin,
I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy,
thinking what this
omnious bird of yore -
What this grim,
ungainly, ghastly, gaunt,
and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking
"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 headow
on the floor;
And my soul from
out that shadow that lies
floating on the floor
Shall be lifted -
Nevermore!
