What happen to the raven in last stanza of poem The Raven?

The last stanza of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" leaves the raven's fate ambiguous, but it is clear that the raven remains perched on the bust of Pallas and continues to utter its single word, "Nevermore."

Here's the final stanza:

> 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!

This stanza emphasizes the permanence of the raven's presence and its haunting, unchanging message. The speaker is trapped in a cycle of despair, unable to escape the shadow of his grief. The raven, symbol of the speaker's torment, remains forever, a constant reminder of his loss and the inevitability of his sorrow.
