TO MISS LOUISE OLIVIA HUNTER, by EDGAR ALLAN POE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Though I turn, I fly not Last Line: And he sinks -- like me. | |||
Though I turn, I fly not -- I cannot depart; I would try, but try not To release my heart. And my hopes are dying While, on dreams relying, I am spelled by art. Thus the bright snake coiling 'Neath the forest tree Wins the bird, beguiling To come down and see: Like that bird the lover Round his fate will hover Till the blow is over And he sinks -- like me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ANNABEL LEE by EDGAR ALLAN POE BRIDAL BALLAD by EDGAR ALLAN POE CATHOLIC HYMN by EDGAR ALLAN POE EULALIE; A SONG by EDGAR ALLAN POE |
