E. A. Poe |
|
Dear child, are you scared tonight? |
|
Your body is trembling |
|
Dear child, you are a tragic bride |
|
With a blemished mind |
|
Dear soul, |
|
I will take you |
|
To the very ends of the earth |
|
Dear soul |
|
I will break you |
|
The marble |
|
BREED is mine "Out - out are the lights - out all! And over each quivering form, The curtain, a funeral pall, Comes down with the rush of a storm, ..." |
|
Dear worm, are you strong enough? |
|
I will defy you |
|
Dear worm, |
|
I will rise up high |
|
From the glowing embers "...And the angels, all pallid and wan, Uprising, unveiling, affirm That the play is the tragedy, " |
|
Man", And its hero the conqueror Worm". |
