I LOVE BABIES
hmm, well im not really sure at this moment because i didnt even know i could make a journal..but ill come up with something!
Edgar Allan Poe
so, he is basically my favorite poet. i love (almost) all of his poems, and here is one of my favorites!

The Lake-To-


In spring of youth it was my lot
To haunt of the wide world a spot
The which I could not love the less--
So lovely was the loneliness
Of a wild lake, with black rock bound,
And the tall pines that towered around.

But when the Night had thrown her pall
Upon that spot, as upon all,
And the mystic wind went by
Murmering in melody--
Then-ah then I would awake
To the terror of the lone lake.

Yet that terror was not fright,
But a tremulous delight--
A feeling not the jewelled mine
Could teach or bribe me to define--
Not Love-although the Love were thine.

Death was in that poisonous wave,
And in its gulf a fitting grave
For him who thence could solace bring
To his lone imagining--
Whose solitary soul could make
And Eden of that dim lake.
