POE
(1809—JANUARY 19—1909)
UPON the summit of his CenturyHe reared a Palace of enduring Art,From whose wild windows never more departBeauty's pale light and starry fantasy:Within is music, sobbing ceaselessly;And phantom terror, spectres of the heartAnd ghosts of grief and love that ever startFrom haunted places, fleeing what none may see.Around its towers the bird, that never dies,Circles; the tempest beats with black alarmOn one red window where, beyond the storm,The Lord of that high Palace dreams and sighs,His Soul, with its Despair, a kingly form,And Death with infinite pity in his eyes.
