Last Halloween in Richmond
We went visiting Mr. Poe
Too late for school's beginning
Too early for the snow

I saw no bust of Pallas
Or at least they didn't show it
Just a bust with bleak black roses
Of the orphaned, lonely Poe-t

I like him because he's honest
A tortured soul needs savin'
I too loved and lost a Lenore
Nevermore to know this Raven!
