  2.                                      TO --
  3.                                by Edgar Allan Poe
  4.  
  5.       The bowers whereat, in dreams, I see
  6.         The wantonest singing birds,
  7.       Are lips- and all thy melody
  8.         Of lip-begotten words-
  9.  
  10.       Thine eyes, in Heaven of heart enshrined,
  11.         Then desolately fall,
  12.       O God! on my funereal mind
  13.         Like starlight on a pall-
  14.  
  15.      Thy heart- thy heart!- I wake and sigh,
  16.         And sleep to dream till day
  17.       Of the truth that gold can never buy-
  18.         Of the baubles that it may.

  21.                    -THE END-
