A crow, a raven, a corvid, I clad them all. Under the ground, under the sea, 
beyond the space, I'm all you can see.

I loosen locks though none may see, I fatten dust where gold would be. I steal the shine, the youth, the play Name the thief that ends the day.

There’s a man inside of me I swear I did not eat, Though I do come from a carnivorous species that’s extinct I stole from Yankee Doodle a very catchy melody But despite the rumors, I’ve done no crime, I’m part of your family

I move from house to house, but I always stay outside. You can find me by the shore for my home is the tide.

A mountain's peak, or leader's conference meeting. Where those can seek, an accomplishment, not fleeting.
