But the Raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only

That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.

Nothing farther then he uttered—not a feather then he fluttered—

Till I scarcely more than muttered “Other friends have flown before—

On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before.”

Then the bird said “Nevermore.”

"The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe

The words from the stanza that are examples of alliteration are farther, feather, and fluttered. Alliteration is the repetition of the same initial consonant sounds in a sequence of words. In this case, "farther," "feather," and "fluttered" all begin with the "fl" sound.
