Synopsis
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream...
--From A Dream Within a Dream
His poem The Raven caused a sensation, and was nevermore forgotten, but Edgar Allan Poe produced many more powerful and haunting verses.

Go back to the "kingdom by the sea" where Annabel Lee lived, loved, and died. Forty-eight poems in all will keep readers riveted.
