This is just an excerpt, and if you are so inclined, I would definitely recommend reading the whole poem. I can picture the whole scene with Poe's vivid descriptions. A copy can be found here.
"Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!" I shrieked, upstarting —
"Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken! – quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!"
Quoth the Raven "Nevermore."
-Edgar Allen Poe, The Raven
