A creature of beauty, elegance, and grace
With feathers precious as white lace
Perched before his ethereal master
Spoke with a voice like gentle laughter
Though the words were soft and sincere
In them the lie Apollo could plainly hear.
With flaming eyes his gaze burned
The messenger by whom he was spurned.
Feathers that were once pure and white
Now black as the darkest night.
The bird cried out, no words he spoke
All that was heard was a harsh croak.
Apollo cursed the bird forevermore
So when it sang, people shut their door.
Its name was lost, but its curse we know
Once a messenger, now a crow.
With feathers precious as white lace
Perched before his ethereal master
Spoke with a voice like gentle laughter
Though the words were soft and sincere

The messenger by whom he was spurned.
Feathers that were once pure and white
Now black as the darkest night.
The bird cried out, no words he spoke
All that was heard was a harsh croak.

So when it sang, people shut their door.
Its name was lost, but its curse we know
