He thinks back to a time in his childhood when he was incredibly close to his older sister. She was everything to him, & he was everything to her. Unfortunately, she died when they were both very young. The man becomes convinced that a raven, who visits the man's garden, is something of a symbol or a manifestation of his sister. The thing is, his sister would sing to him whenever he was afraid or insecure, & it was a calming influence on him. In his ignorance, he decides that if he can get the raven to sing to him, it will be the final proof that this is, in fact, his sister who has come back to take him with her to the next life."
