There is no line from The Raven on Poe's grave stone. There is no statement at all about him. Ironically, Poe's birth date was erroneously carved as January 20, 1809 instead of January 19, 1809.
Actually, there was no quote on the original gravestone ordered by Poe's cousin Neilson Poe that was destroyed before being placed at the original grave site, and the only engraving on the temporary replacement was 'No. 80' until late 1875. In 1875, the grave site and grave stone were both replaced. The replacement grave site, located near the burial ground's street entrance is the one with the erroneous birth date along with Poe's name and date of death, but the original grave site, near the back, currently has the line "Quoth the Raven 'Nevermore'" engraved on the gravestone.

Edgar at the age of three lost his mother who died of consumption, and his biological father (a professional actor) deserted him and then died about a year later.
