Raven

Raven Raven, you pretty little beast,
Causing shadows, in a starry black night
On the darkest of hearts, you do feast,
With tales of great power and might.

Spreading your wings,
With the moon so bright
Out into the night, you swing,
With a swish, as you take flight.

Black Feathers, Black wings,
Spreading jitters, with that beak
Of a lonely death, do you sing
Magnificent beast, sans fear you speak.

Tartarean, in your features,
Queen of the tenebrous nights
Eyes of the beautiful feline creatures,
Brutes of terrible power in this dark light.

Raven Raven, you great mythological mystery,
Crawling slowly in the shade
Trembling away, you fact of history,
May your glorious presence, never fade.
