Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. “’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door— Only this and nothing more.”

Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore, “Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,” I said, “art sure no craven, Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shore— Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plutonian shore!” Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”

And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming, And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted—nevermore!
5
A narrative because it was written by Edgar Allen Poe, an American Poet. It is written in a musical matter.
6
The Raven is representing his loneliness since he lost his girl Lenore.
7
That he misses Lenore a lot. The Raven is always cawing every time he thinks of her.
8
No matter what your loved ones will have a place in your heart. Yes you will miss them but that is a part of life.

I am from Baltimore and so is Edgar Allen Poe. My favorite team is the Ravens so hence the name of the poem caught my attention.
