To F--

By Edgar Allan Poe

Topics: classic

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. And thus thy memory is to me Like some enchanted far-off isle In some tumultuous sea, Some ocean throbbing far and free With storm,but where meanwhile Serenest skies continually Just oer that one bright inland smile.
