Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEBEEEFEGHIHJKLM| 'Build me my tomb ' the Raven said | A |
| 'Within the dark yew tree | B |
| So in the Autumn yewberries | C |
| Sad lamps may burn for me | B |
| Summon the haunted beetle | D |
| From twilight bud and bloom | E |
| To drone a gloomy dirge for me | B |
| At dusk above my tomb | E |
| Beseech ye too the glowworm | E |
| To bear her cloudy flame | E |
| Where the small flickering bats resort | F |
| Whistling in tears my name | E |
| Let the round dew a whisper make | G |
| Welling on twig and thorn | H |
| And only the grey cock at night | I |
| Call through his silver horn | H |
| And you dear sisters don your black | J |
| For ever and a day | K |
| To show how sweet a raven | L |
| In his tomb is laid away ' | M |
