Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore.
"Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the Nightly shore —
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Okuu."

Much I marveled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaning - little relevancy bore;
For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door -
Bird or beast above the sculptured bust above his chamber door,
With such name as "Okuu".

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 further 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, "Okuu."

Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,
"Doubtless," said I, "what it utters is its only stock and store,
Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful disaster
Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore -
Till the dirges of her hope that melancholy burden bore
Of "Okuu-uu.""
