One of Edgar Allan Poe's best known poems, "The Raven" was published January 29, 1845 in the New York Evening Mirror. It tells a story of a young man, mourning the loss of his love Lenore, receiving a visit from a raven on a lonely December night. The raven watches the young man's descent into madness. When published, it made Poe a house-hold name but did not bring him much monetary success.
