Fooled by those rebel powers that there array,
Why dost thou pine within and suffer dearth,
Painting thy outward walls so costly gay?

Dost thou upon thy fading mansion spend?
Shall worms, inheritors of this excess,
Eat up thy charge? Is this thy body’s end?”

No knife can cut our love in two.”—M.

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.”

We can make our lives sublime,
And departing, leave behind us,
Footprints on the sands of Time.”

A pretty girl’s not hard to find;
But when you find one nice and Gay
Hold on to her both night and day.”—M.
