It's been done to death but my favorite is still the close of The Raven:

And the raven, never flitting
Still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door
And his eyes have all the seeming
Of a demon's that is dreaming
And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor
And my soul, from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore
