Crafty, conniving, sly and stately
I am associated with dead and lost souls,
An ominous bird of yore
spawning myths and legends,
A messenger of deities in the mortal world
I am a wily mediator between life and death--
Dreaded but revered nonetheless!
I showed Cain
how to bury his murdered brother Abel,
Perched on the shoulder of the god Odin
A royal resident of the Tower of London
I hobnob with sorcerers and saints
with monarchs and mendicants;
With beady eyes and lustrous ebony plumage
I am mantled in a grave aura of foreboding.
Take heed when I fly across your path,
Perched just above his chamber door
I made Poe famous evermore!
