Analysis of The Raven and the Crow



The raven and the crow
Similar to the untrained eye
One a beautiful name
One a frightening omen

The raven and the crow
Both so dark in the light
One so mystical
One so ominous

She the raven I a crow
So similar in our song
One so dark
One so aggressive

She the raven I a crow
Never to fly together
One able to find adventure
One to force a purpose
