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