Maxioms by Thomas D'arcy Mcgee
The Raven's house is built with reeds,--
Sing woe, and alas is me!
And the Raven's couch read more
The Raven's house is built with reeds,--
Sing woe, and alas is me!
And the Raven's couch is spread with weeds,
High on the hollow tree;
And the Raven himself, telling his beads
In penance for his past misdeeds,
Upon the top I see.
