The Raven

By Edgar Allan Poe
Illustrated by Gustave Dore


Click on the Dore graphics to see the full-size versions
the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor


And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted- nevermore!

-The End-




And my soul from out that shadow.... Shall be lifted- nevermore!
