The clock struck midnight
And 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 a raven
Whose shadow hung above my door
Then through the silence
It spoke the one word
That I shall hear for evermore.

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 for evermore.

Quoth the raven, nevermore
Thus quoth the raven, nevermore (3x)
Nevermore nevermore, never (6x)
Nevermore.
