The Raven

Folder: 
2002

The raven’s dark feathers

Conceal her in the dead of night

After the clock has chimed

Moon and stars are absent

On the cool fall night

 

The whir of feathers slicing

The windless and deathly silent

Night which has fallen

Upon the half-bear trees

Is the only sign of her presence

 

She flies so elegantly, showing off

Trying her best to dispel the bad reputation

That, by simply being a raven

She received from a man named Edger

Though he’s gone, his words still remain

 

‘Tis odd how one small action –

Mr. Poe’s escape from his pains and fears –

Still can live to haunt another

Especially this dark raven,

On this wonderful night
