Henry N. Beard Quotes

The End Of The Raven
On A Night Quite Unenchanting, When The Rain Was Downward Slanting
I Awakened To The Ranting Of The Man I Catch Mice For.
Tipsy And A Bit Unshaven, In A Tone I Found Quite Craven,
Poe Was Talking To A Raven Perched Above The Chamber Door.
'Raven's Very Tasty,' Thought I, As I Tiptoed O'er The Floor.
'There Is Nothing I Like More.'
[ ... ]
Still The Raven Never Fluttered, Standing Stock-still As He Uttered
In A Voice That Shrieked And Sputtered, His Two Cents' Worth
'Nevermore.'
While This Dirge The Birdbrain Kept Up, Oh, So Silently I Crept Up,
Then I Crouched And Quickly Leapt Up, Pouncing On The Feathered Bore.
Soon He Was A Heap Of Plumage, And A Little Blood And Gore
Only This And Not Much More.
