Mister Raven

mister raven, i implore
don't come knockin' at my door
always sayin' nevermore
don't come knockin' at my door

mister raven, here's the thing
flowers bloom and it is spring
you should know it's time to sing
flowers always bloom in spring

be not black and be not blue
i have found a love that's true.
mister raven, change your hue 
i have found a love that's true

mister raven, little dear 
one day, you will be welcome here
mister raven, don't bring fear 
and you will be most welcome here

This is a good twist on an old poem. It's a catchy tune.

I'm glad you said it's a catchy tune, because a song was going through my head, and I put these words to it.
