I Need Someone
By Linda Newman
I need someone to hold me tight
Through dark of night,
Who won't go 'way
At break of day.
Someone whose love will mend the seams
Of broken dreams,
And give me back
The trust I lack.
For love, it holds the magic key
To set me free,
To heal my soul
And make me whole.
All The Worlds a Stage.

The correct line from Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Raven" is "Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he." This means that the raven did not show any sign of respect or deference, and it did not pause or delay for even a moment.
