Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor.
"Wretch," I cried, " thy God hath lent thee--by these angels he hath sent thee
Respite--respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore;
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!"
Quoth the Raven "Nevermore"
 
I've never actually tried to translate his poems. But he sure can be confusing quite beautifully, don't you think? :]
 
So he feels the presence of a ghost, like incense is being swayed across the room by an angel: "perfumed from an unseen censer (those catholic insense burner things) swung by (highest order of angels)".

Then he curses God for sending the angels (or memories). He tells the memories to go away as he takes an ancient drug (nepenthe). Then he begs the drug to help him forget Lenore.

Then he invokes the raven again to remind us that the struggle is eternal.
