The Raven Himself
You know me by now. Am I light-hearted, ever?
I'm not. I'm dark as gathering clouds. If you met
Me in person, I'd smile. I'd make jokes. Under no
Circumstances would I burden you with my cares
Or my ailments, as you have your own, but, when
I face this keyboard alone, and I'm honest, I'm grim,
As you already know.
