• I was not as I am, once cried a raven
    I was not as I seem, once cried a raven
    I have lived as others have lived, once cried a raven
    And I have cried as others have cried, once cried a raven

    I have loved as others have loved, once cried a raven
    I have wishes as others have wished once cried a raven
    I was once a love but not longer loved, once cried a raven
    I have missed as others have missed, once cried a raven

    I watch as others only see, once cried a raven
    I have touched without touching, once cried a raven
    I have cried as others have wept, once cried a raven
    I have bled as others only bleed, once cried a raven

    To know what I know is sadness, once cried a raven
    To have seen what I see is madness, once cried a raven
    To have loved as I have loved is agony, once cried a raven
    To have grieved as I have grieved, once cried a raven

    I am a raven!
    As once cried a raven
