After the raven has begun his torment of the narrator, the narrator ponders, “‘Other friends have flown before-/On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before’” (Poe).

Personifying Hope, and associating it with flying like a raven, indicates all hope in his life is gone. He’s hoping the raven will leave him as Hope has.
