The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe
QR code
"The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe is a narrative poem first published in January 1845. It tells of a grief-stricken lover mourning his lost Lenore who receives a midnight visit from a mysterious raven. The bird perches above his door and repeatedly speaks a single haunting word: "Nevermore." As the narrator questions the raven, he descends from amusement to anger and finally into madness, unable to escape the shadow cast by both
the bird and his overwhelming grief. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
