El Dorado

Gaily bedight,A gallant knight

In sunshine and in shadow,Had journeyed long,

Singing a song,In search of El Dorado.

But he grew old -This knight so bold -

And - o’er his heart a shadowFell as he found

No spot of groundThat looked like El Dorado.

And, as his strengthFailed him at length,

He met a pilgrim shadow –“Shadow,” said he,“Where can it be -

This land of El Dorado?”

“Over the MountainsOf the Moon,

Down the Valley of the Shadow,Ride, boldly ride,”The shade replied -

“If you seek for El Dorado.”

Ever with thee I wish to roam —Dearest my life is thine.Give me a cottage for my homeAnd a rich old cypress vine,Removed from the world with its sin and careAnd the tattling of many tongues.Love alone shall guide us when we are there —Love shall heal my weakened lungs;And Oh, the tranquil hours we’ll spend,Never wishing that others may see!Perfect ease we’ll enjoy, without thinking to lendOurselves to the world and its glee —Ever peaceful and blissful we’ll be.

Virginia Clemm Poe wrote this valentine for her husband, Edgar Allan Poe. It is an acrostic poem, the fi rst letter of each line spelling “Edgar Allan Poe.” This

is the only poem Virginia is known to have written.

Dreamland

By a route obscure and lonely,Haunted by ill angels only,

Where an Eidolon, named nightOn a black throne reigns upright,

I have reached these lands but newlyFrom an ultimate dim Thule-

From a wild clime that lieth, sublime,Out of space- out of time.

Bottomless vales and boundless floods,And chasms, and caves, and Titan woods,

With forms that no man can discoverFor the tears that drip all over;Mountains toppling evermore

Into seas without a shore;Seas that restlessly aspire,Surging, unto skies of fire;

Lakes that endlessly outspreadTheir lone waters- lone and dead,-

Their still waters- still and chillyWith the snows of the lolling lily.

By the lakes that thus outspreadTheir lone waters, lone and dead,-

Their sad waters, sad and chillyWith the snows of the lolling lily,-By the mountains- near the river

Murmuring lowly, murmuring ever,-By the grey woods,- by the swamp

Where the toad and the newt encamp-By the dismal tarns and pools

Where dwell the Ghouls,-By each spot the most unholy-

In each nook most melancholy-There the traveller meets aghastSheeted Memories of the Past-

Shrouded forms that start and sighAs they pass the wanderer by-

White-robed forms of friends long given,In agony, to the Earth- and Heaven.

For the heart whose woes are legion‘Tis a peaceful, soothing region-

For the spirit that walks in shadow‘Tis- oh, ‘tis an Eldorado!

But the traveller, travelling through it,May not- dare not openly view it!

Never its mysteries are exposed To the weak human eye unclosed;So wills its King, who hath forbidThe uplifting of the fringed lid;

And thus the sad Soul that here passesBeholds it but through darkened glasses.

By a route obscure and lonely,Haunted by ill angels only,

Where an Eidolon, named night,On a black throne reigns upright,I have wandered home but newly

From this ultimate dim Thule.

Edgar Allan Poe

Sarah Helen Whitman (1803-1878), the Helen for

whom Poe wrote “To Helen”

To Helen

Helen, thy beauty is to meLike those Nicean barks of yore,

That gently, o’er a perfumed sea,The weary, wayworn wanderer bore

to his own native shore.

On desperate seas long wont to roam,Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face,

Thy Naiad airs have brought me homeTo glory that was Greece,

And the grandeur that was Rome.

Lo! in yon brilliant window nicheHow statue-like I see thee stand,The agate lamp within thy hand!

Ah, Psyche, from the regions whichAre Holy Land!

Edgar Allan Poe Pg. 8Rev. 3/16
