To F––: Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer, poet, editor, and literary critic who is best known for his poetry and short stories.
Beloved! amid the earnest woes
That crowd around my earthly path—
(Drear path, alas! where grows
Not even one lonely rose)—
My soul at least a solace hath
In dreams of thee, and therein knows
An Eden of bland repose.
