© Edgar Allan Poe

Dreams are with us no more;—but of these mysteries

The film of the shadow has already passed from off your
eyes. Be of heart, and fear nothing. Your allotted days of
stupor have expired, and to-morrow I will myself induct you
into the full joys and wonders of your novel existence.

But whie (vnhappie wight) doo I thus crie,
And grieue that my remembrance quite is raced
Out of the knowledge of posteritie,

  "Will love grow less when dead the roguish Spring,
  Who from gay eyes sowed violets whispering;
  Peach petals in wild cheeks, wan-wasted thro'
  Of withering grief, laid lovely 'neath the dew,
  Will love grow less?

The Killing

I was a stranger, could not read these people
Or this outlandish deity. Did a God
Indeed in dying cross my life that day
By chance, he on his road and I on mine?

Although she ne'er came in, the house grows bare.
Shut, shut the door; there's nothing in the house.

A secret lies behind which Thou dost know,
And I can partly guess.

In a cool curving world he lies
And ripples with dark ecstasies.
The kind luxurious lapse and steal
Shapes all his universe to feel
