Edgar Allan Poe

The bowers whereat, in dreams, I see
The wantonest singing birds,

Are lips-and all thy melody
Of lip-begotten words-

Thine eyes, in Heaven of heart enshrined
Then desolately fall,
O God! on my funereal mind
Like starlight on a pall-

Thy heart-thy heart!-I wake and sigh,
And sleep to dream till day
Of the truth that gold can never buy-
Of the baubles that it may.
