To the Raven.

To the Raven.

Oh raven, majestic creature of the sky,
With ebony feathers that shimmer and fly.
Your eyes, like onyx, deep and wise,
Hold secrets of the night, hidden from prying eyes.

In the darkness, you soar with grace and might,
A symbol of wisdom, a creature of the night.
Your haunting call, a melancholic song,
Echoes through the trees, haunting and strong.

Oh raven, with wings spread wide,
You traverse the heavens, with nothing to hide.
Your presence, both ominous and grand,
Leaves a mark on the hearts of those who understand.

You are a messenger, a harbinger of fate,
Guiding lost souls to their destined state.
Through the realms of mystery you roam,
In ancient folklore and tales, you find your home.

Oh raven, companion of the Gothic lore,
You embody darkness, yet so much more.
With feathers as black as the midnight sky,
You captivate our souls, you make us sigh.

So here's to you, oh raven divine,
In poetry, art, and songs, you forever shine.
A symbol of wisdom, magic, and might,
You are the raven, forever taking flight.
