| O Raven days dark Raven days of sorrow | C |
| Bring to us in your whetted ivory beaks | D |
| Some sign out of the far land of To morrow | C |
| Some strip of sea green dawn some orange streaks | D |

| Ye float in dusky files forever croaking | E |
| Ye chill our manhood with your dreary shade | F |
| Dumb in the dark not even God invoking | E |
| We lie in chains too weak to be afraid | F |

| O Raven days dark Raven days of sorrow | C |
| Will ever any warm light come again | G |
| Will ever the lit mountains of To morrow | C |
| Begin to gleam athwart the mournful plain | B |
