  • Artist Info: This poem really speaks to me, I hope you like it to.<br />
    <br />
    Thou wast all that to me, love,<br />
    For which my soul did pine-<br />
    A green isle in the sea, love,<br />
    A fountain and a shrine,<br />
    All wreathed with fairy fruits and flowers,<br />
    And all the flowers were mine.<br />
    <br />
    Ah, dream too bright to last!<br />
    Ah, starry Hope! that didst arise<br />
    But to be overcast!<br />
    A voice from out the Future cries,<br />
    "On! on!"- but o'er the Past<br />
    (Dim gulf!) my spirit hovering lies<br />
    Mute, motionless, aghast!<br />
    <br />
    For, alas! alas! me<br />
    The light of Life is o'er!<br />
    "No more- no more- no more-"<br />
    (Such language holds the solemn sea<br />
    To the sands upon the shore)<br />
    Shall bloom the thunder-blasted tree<br />
    Or the stricken eagle soar!<br />
    <br />
    And all my days are trances,<br />
    And all my nightly dreams<br />
    Are where thy grey eye glances,<br />
    And where thy footstep gleams-<br />
    In what ethereal dances,<br />
    By what eternal streams.<br />
    <br />
    ~Edgar Allan Poe
