Then this
ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave
and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
"Though
thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim
and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shore—
Tell me what
thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!"
Quoth the
Raven, "Nevermore."
- Edgar Allen Poe
