EDGAR ALLAN POE.
I know not why, but it is true—it may,In some way, be because he was a childOf the fierce sun where I first wept and smiled—I love the dark-browed Poe. His feverish dayWas spent in dreams inspired, that him beguiled,When not along his path shone forth one rayOf light, of hope, to guide him on the way,That to earth's cares he might be reconciled.Not one of all Columbia's tuneful choirHas pitched his notes to such a matchless keyAs Poe—the wizard of the Orphic lyre!Not one has dreamed, has sung, such songs as he,Who, like an echo came, an echo went,Singing, back to his mother element.
