Sorrow for the lost Lenore.
Wandering from the Nightly shore.
On this home by Horror haunted.

ANATKH.
A speck, a mist, a shape, I wist! And still it neared and neared
The ship drove fast, loud roared the blast, And southward aye we fled.
I'm going to my granny's to carry this jar And this cake from my mother. Indeed! Is it Far?
Oh, Granny, your teeth are tremendous in size! They're to eat you! - and he ate her!
And here and there along the track Dropping a pebble to guide him back.
Now pumpkins-some fry 'em, some boil 'em, some stew 'em But no one before ever made one a brougham!
Now when fantastic visions fill the air, Sorrow surrenders to a dull despair.
The end releases other men from strife, His fate is ceaseless toil and deathless life.
Spell-bound, they gather far and near to scan The weird senescence of that wondrous man.
--Here I opened wide the door
-- Darkness there, and nothing more.

John in the Wilderness by Bernhard Frank, 2006
Every step be nearer set, Oped the eyes of violet.
Until he reached the grandest room of all, The banquet-hall.
He saw on her cheek a tear-drop glisten, So he hid himself under her chair to listen.
Then haste to your stations And make him the lowest of low salutations
That embowered pile did seem A cloud from some fantastic dream.

Tell me truly, I implore-- Is there--is there balm in Gilead?--tell me--tell me, I implore!
The abode, I suppose, of a man of position? The palace, said they 'of a mighty magician!'
Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

While this way or that way each rapidly shoots off Hop o' my Thumb takes the seven league Boots off.
Huntsman bold returned from sport Snoring, horns to lips!
His cries the whole neighborhood round might awaken - The Marquis of Carabas' clothes have been taken!
Before she had time to exclaim 'oh, my gracious!' She was bolted entire by the monster voracious.
But whose velvet violet lining with the lamplight gloating o'er She shall press, ah, nevermore!
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore-- Nameless here for evermore.
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted--nevermore!
