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.”
Much I marvelled this ungainly
Fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaning—
Little relevancy bore;
