The cocktail struck midnight
Then through my sleeping
I heard a tapping at my door.

I looked but nothing
Lay in the darkness
And so I turned inside once more.

To my amazement
There stood the raven
Whose shadow hung above my door.

Then through the silence
It spoke the one word
That I shall hear forever more:

Nevermore!

Thus quoth the raven:
Nevermore!

And still the raven
Remains in my room
No matter how much I implore.
No words can soothe him;
No prayer remove him.
And I must hear forever more:

Quoth the raven: Nevermore!
Thus quoth the raven: Nevermore (3×)!
Nevermore! Nevermore! Never (3×)!
Nevermore!!!
