Then my heart it grew ashen and sober
    As the leaves that were crisped and sere 
    As the leaves that were withering and sere 
And I cried  ;It was surely October
    On _this_ very night of last year��
    That I journeyed  I journeyed down here� �
    That I brought a dread burden down here 
    On this night�察�of all nights in the year��
    Ah�察�what demon has tempted me here��
Well I know�察�now�察�this dim lake of Auber 
    This misty mid region of Weir�此�
Well I know�察�now�察�this dank tarn of Auber 
    This ghoul´haunted woodland of Weir。;

               TO HELEN

I saw thee once once only  years ago��
I must not say how many  but not many。
It was a July midnight�察�and from out
A full´orbed moon�察�that�察�like thine own soul�察�soaring��
Sought a precipitate pathway up through heaven��
There fell a silvery´silken veil of light��
With quietude�察�and sultriness�察�and slumber��
Upon the upturned faces of a thousand
Roses that grew in an enchanted garden��
Where no wind dared to stir�察�unless on tiptoe 
Fell on the upturn'd faces of these roses
That gave out�察�in return for the love´light��
Their odorous souls in an ecstatic death 
Fell on the upturn'd faces of these roses
That smiled and died in this parterre�察�enchanted
By thee�察�and by the poetry of thy presence。

Clad all in white�察�upon a violet bank
I saw thee half reclining�察�while the moon
Fell on the upturn'd faces of the roses��
And on thine own�察�upturn'd´ alas�察�in sorrow��

Was it not Fate�察�that�察�on this July midnight´
Was it not Fate�察。�whose name is also Sorrow�撮�
That bade me pause before that garden´gate��
To breathe the incense of those slumbering roses��
No footstep stirred�此�the hated world an slept��
Save only thee and me。 ��Oh�察�Heaven� � oh�察�God��
How my heart beats in coupling those two words�。�
Save only thee and me。 I paused´ I looked´
And in an instant all things disappeared。
��Ah�察�bear in mind this garden was enchanted�。�

The pearly lustre of the moon went out��
The mossy banks and the meandering paths��
The happy flowers and the repining trees��
Were seen no more�此�the very roses' odors
Died in the arms of the adoring airs。
All´ all expired save thee´ save less than thou��
Save only the divine light in thine eyes´
Save but the soul in thine uplifted eyes。
I saw but them´ they were the world to me��
I saw but them´ saw only them for hours��
Saw only them until the moon went down。
What wild heart´histories seemed to he enwritten

Upon those crystalline�察�celestial spheres��
How dark a woe�察�yet how sublime a hope��
How silently serene a sea of pride��
How daring an ambition�察�yet how deep´
How fathomless a capacity for love��

But now�察�at length�察�dear Dian sank from sight��
Into a western couch of thunder´cloud��
And thou�察�a ghost�察�amid the entombing trees
Didst glide away。 Only thine eyes remained��
They would not go´ they never yet have gone��
Lighting my lonely pathway home that night��
They have not left me ��as my hopes have�� since��
They follow me´ they lead me through the years。
They are my ministers  yet I their slave。
Their office is to illumine and enkindle 
My duty�察�to be saved by their bright light��
And purified in their electric fire��
And sanctified in their elysian fire。
They fill my soul with Beauty ��which is Hope����
And are far up in Heaven  the stars I kneel to
In the sad�察�silent watches of my night��
While even in the meridian glare of day
I see them still  two sweetly scintillant
Venuses�察�unextinguished by the sun��

     ANNABEL LEE。

It was many and many a year ago��
    In a kingdom by the sea��
That a maiden lived whom you may know
    By the name of ANNABEL LEE�察 �
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
    Than to love and be loved by me。

_I_ was a child and _She_ was a child��
    In this kingdom by the sea��
But we loved with a love that was more than love ´
    I and my ANNABEL LEE ´
With a love that the wing�d seraphs of Heaven
    Coveted her and me。

And this was the reason that�察�long ago��
    In this kingdom by the sea��
A wind blew out of a cloud by night
    Chilling my ANNABEL LEE��
So that her high´born kinsmen came
    And bore her away from me��
To shut her up�察�in a sepulchre
    In this kingdom by the sea。

The angels�察�not half so happy in Heaven��
    Went envying her and me��
Yes� �that was the reason ��as all men know��
    In this kingdom by the sea��
That the wind came out of the cloud�察�chilling
    And killing my ANNABEL LEE。

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
    Of those who were older than we ´
    Of many far wiser than we ´
And neither the angels in Heaven above
    Nor the demons down under the sea
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
    Of the beautiful ANNABEL LEE�此 �

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
    Of the beautiful ANNABEL LEE��
And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes
    Of the beautiful ANNABEL LEE��
And so�察�all the night´tide�察�I lie down by the side
Of my darling�察�my darling�察�my life and my bride
    In her sepulchre there by the sea ´
    In her tomb by the side of the sea。

         A VALENTINE。

For her this rhyme is penned�察�whose luminous eyes��
    Brightly expressive as the twins of Loeda��
Shall find her own sweet name�察�that�察�nestling lies
    Upon the page�察�enwrapped from every reader。
Search narrowly the lines�  �they hold a treasure
    Divine  a talisman  an amulet
That must be worn _at heart_。 Search well the measure 
    The words  the syllables� �Do not forget
The trivialest point�察�or you may lose your labor��
    And yet there is in this no Gordian knot

Which one might not undo without a sabre��
    If one could merely comprehend the plot。
Enwritten upon the leaf where now are peering
    Eyes scintillating soul�察�there lie _perdus_
Three eloquent words oft uttered in the hearing
    Of poets�察�by poets  as the name is a poet's�察�too。
Its letters�察�although naturally lying
    Like the knight Pinto  Mendez Ferdinando 
Still form a synonym for Truth  Cease trying��
    You will not read the riddle�察�though you do the best _you_ can do。

letter of the first line in connection with the second letter of the

           AN ENIGMA

;Seldom we find�察─�says Solomon Don Dunce��
    ;Half an idea in the profoundest sonnet。
Through all the flimsy things we see at once
    As easily as through a Naples bonnet ´
    Trash of all trash�  � how _can_ a lady don it��
Yet heavier far than your Petrarchan stuff´
Owl´downy nonsense that the faintest puff
    Twirls into trunk´paper the while you con it。;
And�察�veritably�察�Sol is right enough。
The general tuckermanities are arrant
Bubbles ´ ephemeral and _so_ transparent ´
    But _this_ is�察�now�察 � you may depend upon it ´
Stable�察�opaque�察�immortal ´ all by dint
Of the dear names that lie concealed within 't。

TO MY MOTHER

Because I feel that�察�in the Heavens above��
    The angels�察�whispering to one another��
Can find�察�among their burning terms of love��
    None so devotional as that of ;Mother�察�
Therefore by that dear name I long have called you 
    You who are more than mother unto me��
And fill my heart of hearts�察�where Death installed you
    In setting my Virginia's spirit free。
My mother  my own mother�察�who died early��
    Was but the mother of myself�察�but you
Are mother to the one I loved so dearly��
    And thus are dearer than the mother I knew
By that infinity with which my wife
    Was dearer to my soul than its soul´life。

��The above was addressed to the poet's mother´in´law�察�Mrs。 Clemm Ed。��

  FOR ANNIE

Thank Heaven� �the crisis 
    The danger is past��
And the lingering illness
    Is over at last 
And the fever called ;Living;
    Is conquered at last。

Sadly�察�I know
    I am shorn of my strength��
And no muscle I move
    As I lie at full length 
But no matter�  �I feel
    I am better at length。

And I rest so composedly��
    Now�察�in my bed��
That any beholder
    Might fancy me dead 
Might start at beholding me��
    Thinking me dead。

The moaning and groaning��
    The sighing and sobbing��
Are quieted now��
    With that horrible throbbing
At heart�此 �ah�察�that horrible��
    Horrible throbbing��

The sickness  the nausea 
    The pitiless pain 
Have ceased�察�with the fever
    That maddened my brain 
With the fever called ;Living;
    That burned in my brain。

And oh� �of all tortures
    _That_ torture the worst
Has abated  the terrible
    Torture of thirst
For the naphthaline river
    Of Passion accurst�此�
I have drank of a water
    That quenches all thirst�此�

Of a water that flows��
    With a lullaby sound��
From a spring but a very few
    Feet under ground 
From a cavern not very far
    Down under ground。

And ah� �let it never
    Be foolishly said
That my room it is gloomy
    And narrow my bed��
For man never slept
    In a different be
