“Be that word our sign of parting, mare or fiend!” I shrieked, upstarting—  
“Get thee back into the tempest and the Night’s Plutonian shore!  
Leave no black strand as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!  
Leave my loneliness unbroken!—quit the bust above my door!  
Take thy horn from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!”  
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”

  And the Moonlight Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting  
  On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;  
  And her eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming,  
  And the lamp-light o’er her streaming throws her shadow on the floor;  
  And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor  
  Shall be lifted—  
  Nevermore
