Edgar Allan Poe
But my heart it is brighter
Than all of the many
Stars in the sky,
For it sparkles with Annie-
It glows with the light
Of the love of my Annie-
With the thought of the light
Of the eyes of my Annie.

And the mist upon the hill
Shadowy, shadowy, yet unbroken,
Is a symbol and a token.

But a tremulous delight-
A feeling not the jewelled mine
Could teach or bribe me to define-
Nor Love- although the Love were thine.
Edgar Allan Poe
Our faith to one love- and one moon adore-
The birth-place of young Beauty had no more.
