First Line: DEAD FIFTY YEARS? NOT SO Last Line: AND WITHERED THEM IN FLAME. Subject(s): POE, EDGAR ALLAN (1809-1849);
Dead fifty years? Not so; Nay, fifty years ago Death, obloquy, and spite To curse his ashes came. But lo, the living light Beneath the breath of shame Indignant, spurned the night And withered them in flame.
