" A Ravens Eye " ( the Raven) _______________
Words & Music by Dennis Massa
Are you ready for love,
Not From the cold caverns of a Raven's eye,
Nor from the shadow painted canvas I cry,
Neath the dusty dark moon,
This Raven did croon,
I'm a red devil crow,
and I'll go where the Santa Ana Winds Blow.
Your'e my heaven's desire,
All the power of a desert fire,
Lost in your love,
Lost in a desert Lair,
Wrapped around my heart, Cacoon of Care
I'm a red devil crow,
And i'll go, where the Santa Ana Winds Blow.
Afraid to let you in,
This Raven inside me struck again,
Scared to go beyond the boundries open,
Neath' the Pale Dark moon,
This Raven did croon,
I'm a Red Devil Crow,
And I'll go where the Santa Ana Winds Blow
Your'e my Heaven desire,
All the power of a desert fire,
Lost in your love,
Lost in a desert Lair,
Wrapped around my heart Cacoon of Care,
I'm a Red Devil Crow,
And I'll go where the Santa Ana Winds Blow.

"The Raven" is a narrative poem by American writer Edgar Allan Poe, first published in January 1845. It is often noted for its musicality, stylized language, and supernatural atmosphere. It tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the man's slow descent into madness. The lover, often identified as being a student,[1][2] is lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore. Sitting on a bust of Pallas, the raven seems to further instigate his distress with its constant repetition of the word "Nevermore". The poem makes use of a number of folk and classical references.
Poe claimed to have written the poem very logically and methodically, intending to create a poem that would appeal to both critical and popular tastes, as he explained in his 1846 follow-up essay "The Philosophy of Composition". The poem was inspired in part by a talking raven in the novel Barnaby Rudge: A Tale of the Riots of 'Eighty by Charles Dickens.[3] Poe borrows the complex rhythm and meter of Elizabeth Barrett's poem "Lady Geraldine's Courtship", and makes use of internal rhyme as well as alliteration throughout.
"The Raven" was first attributed to Poe in print in the New York Evening Mirror on January 29, 1845. Its publication made Poe widely popular in his lifetime, though it did not bring him much financial success. Soon reprinted, parodied, and illustrated, critical opinion is divided as to the poem's status, though it remains one of the most famous poems ever written.[4]
