At the end of the poem "The Raven," what does the speaker want from the raven?

He wants
the bird to go away and leave no trace behind. His wish is not granted though.

The raven is clearly no ordinary bird. Not only does he speak (although only a single
word), but he also represents something else to the narrator, something dark. It's possible that
the raven represents the inevitable passage of time, suggesting that has gone will never return,
including the beloved . The raven becomes a burden, representing the impossibility of letting go
of sadness and melancholy to go on and live a peaceful life.

At the end of
the poem, the narrator becomes downhearted; he receives no hope from the raven and he falls into
despair. So he begs the raven to go away, to leave no sign of his ominous presence: "Leave
no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!" He wants to be left alone with
his memories.

But the raven never leaves. At the end of the poem, the
narrator realizes this is it for him, he is dead in spirit: "And my
soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor / Shall be
liftednevermore!"
