The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe
QR code
"The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe is a narrative poem first published in January 1845. On a bleak December night, a grief-stricken student mourning his lost love Lenore receives an unexpected visitor: a mysterious raven that speaks only one word—"Nevermore." As the bird perches ominously above his chamber door, the narrator descends from curiosity to anger to madness, asking questions he knows will bring only despair. This haunting tale explores undying devotion
and the torment of memory. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
