Nevermore

The clock struck midnight And through my sleeping, I heard a tapping at my door. I looked, but nothing Lay in the darkness, And so I turned inside once More. To my amazement, there stood a raven. His shadow hung above my door. Then through the silence, it spoke that one Word that I shall hear Forevermore. Nevermore. And still the raven Remains in my room, No matter how much I Implore. No words can soothe him, no prayer remove him, And I must hear Forevermore.
