'Croak croak croak '	A
Thus the Raven spoke	B
Perched on his crooked tree	C
As hoarse as hoarse could be	C
Shun him and fear him	D
Lest the Bridegroom hear him	D
Scout him and rout him	D
With his ominous eye about him	D
	-
Yet 'Croak croak croak '	-
Still tolled from the oak	B
From that fatal black bird	E
Whether heard or unheard	E
'O ship upon the high seas	F
Freighted with lives and spices	G
Sink O ship ' croaked the Raven	H
'Let the Bride mount to heaven '	-
	-
In a far foreign land	I
Upon the wave edged sand	I
Some friends gaze wistfully	C
Across the glittering sea	C
'If we could clasp our sister '	-
Three say 'now we have missed her '	-
'If we could kiss our daughter '	-
Two sigh across the water	J
	-
Oh the ship sails fast	K
With silken flags at the mast	K
And the home wind blows soft	L
But a Raven sits aloft	M
Chuckling and choking	N
Croaking croaking croaking	N
Let the beacon fire blaze higher	J
Bridegroom watch the Bride draws nigher	J
	-
On a sloped sandy beach	O
Which the spring tide billows reach	O
Stand a watchful throng	P
Who have hoped and waited long	P
'Fie on this ship that tarries	C
With the priceless freight it carries	C
The time seems long and longer	J
O languid wind wax stronger '	-
	-
Whilst the Raven perched at ease	C
Still croaks and does not cease	C
One monotonous note	Q
Tolled from his iron throat	Q
'No father no mother	J
But I have a sable brother	J
He sees where ocean flows to	R
And he knows what he knows too '	-
	-
A day and a night	S
They kept watch worn and white	S
A night and a day	T
For the swift ship on its way	T
For the Bride and her maidens	C
Clear chimes the bridal cadence	C
For the tall ship that never	J
Hove in sight for ever	J
	-
On either shore some	U
Stand in grief loud or dumb	U
As the dreadful dread	V
Grows certain though unsaid	V
For laughter there is weeping	N
And waking instead of sleeping	N
And a desperate sorrow	J
Morrow after morrow	J
	-
Oh who knows the truth	W
How she perished in her youth	W
And like a queen went down	X
Pale in her royal crown	X
How she went up to glory	J
From the sea foam chill and hoary	J
From the sea depth black and riven	H
To the calm that is in Heaven	H
	-
They went down all the crew	R
The silks and spices too	R
The great ones and the small	Y
One and all one and all	Y
Was it through stress of weather	J
Quicksands rocks or all together	J
Only the Raven knows this	C
And he will not disclose this	C
	-
After a day and year	J
The bridal bells chime clear	J
After a year and a day	T
The Bridegroom is brave and gay	T
Love is sound faith is rotten	H
The old Bride is forgotten	H
Two ominous Ravens only	J
Remember black and lonely	J
