That ever died so young?

Oh the woe of Poe and his Triumph Paean - song of praise for their young wife's pasting. Sounds to have celebrated the requiem with euphoric and exaltation; and yet, with violently uses of the word raven. Word Master.

As with his other works Poe often made death a theme of most of his poems and short stories with masterful execution.

From more than fiends on earth, Thy life and love are riven, To join the untainted mirth Of more than thrones in heaven - Nicely penned. Thanks.

Very reasonable....the ending lines But waft thee on thy flight, With a Pæan of old days. are superb

They loved her for her wealth - And they hated her for her pride - Such is the human nature. Thanks for the sharing. Great poem.

There is a lot of pain in this Paean. Yes, Poe was capable of great emotion and it served him well in such works as The Bells and The Tell-Tale Heart. Emotion is at the core of every great suspense and mystery and murder story- Poe knew how to deliver suspense, terror, horror. This same capacity for evoking emotion was the wings for his love poetry. Poe delivers.

I fall in love with every word of every poem of this master of poetry. Melodramatic, I know I may be but it does not change what is clearly seen
