!!But The Raven, Sitting Lonely On The Placid Bust, Spoke Only
!!But the Raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only
That one word, as if her soul in that one word she did outpour.
Nothing farther then she uttered—not a feather then she fluttered—
Till I scarcely more than muttered “Other friends have flown before—
On the morrow she will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before.”
Then the bird said “Nevermore.”!!

//She who is hued in vermillion
Who is three-eyed
Whose crown rubies bejewel
And the crescent moon adorns
She who mesmerizes with a
compassionate smile
She of shapely limbs
Cupping a bejeweled vessel abounding in nectar in one hand
And a crimson lotus in another //
