The Raven

“Prophet!” said I, “thing of evil!-prophet still, bird or devil!-
Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate, yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted-
On this time by Horror haunted, - tell me truly, I implore-
Is there-is there balm in Gilead?-tell me-tell me, I implore!”

Quoth the Raven, “Nevermore.”
