Beloved! amid the earnest woes               #19
                                     That crowd around my earthly path-
                                   (Drear path, alas! where grows
                                   Not even one lonely rose)-
                                     My soul at least a solace hath
                                   In dreams of thee, and therein knows
                                   An Eden of bland repose.

                                   And thus thy memory is to me
                                     Like some enchanted far-off isle
                                   In some tumultuous sea-
                                   Some ocean throbbing far and free
                                     With storms- but where meanwhile
                                   Serenest skies continually
                                   Just o'er that one bright island smile.
                                                    --Edgar Allen Poe                CLICK FOR  EXAMPLE #20
