EULALIE; A SONG, by EDGAR ALLAN POE Recitation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I dwelt alone / in a world of moan Last Line: While ever to her young eulalie upturns her violet eye. Subject(s): Love - Marital; Wedded Love; Marriage - Love | ||||||||
I dwelt alone In a world of moan, And my soul was a stagnant tide Till the fair and gentle Eulalie became my blushing bride -- Till the yellow-haired young Eulalie became my smiling bride. Ah, less than bright The stars of the night Than the eyes of the radiant girl, And never a flake That the vapor can make With the moon-tints of purple and pearl Can vie with the modest Eulalie's most unregarded curl -- Can compare with the bright-eyed Eulalie's most humble and careless curl. Now Doubt -- now Pain Can never again, For her soul gives me sigh for sigh And all day long Shines bright and strong Astarte within the sky, While ever to her dear Eulalie upturns her matron eye -- While ever to her young Eulalie upturns her violet eye. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO MY WIFE by GEORGE WASHINGTON BETHUNE VARIATION ON THE WORD SLEEP by MARGARET ATWOOD IN THE MONTH OF MAY by ROBERT BLY |
