GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK
Philadelphia, February 1850

THE LOST PLEIAD––EDGAR A. POE.
BY MRS. H. MARION STEPHENS.
- Oh! lay the brokenn lyre
- Upon his tomb;
- The Pleiad's glowing fire
- Is quenched in gloom!
- The glorious and the bright
- (Wiled from the realm of night
- To earth) has taken flight:
- Good spirits — room!
- Room for the truant star!
- Room — room above!
- To the bright land afar
- Admit our dove,
- So worn and tempest-riven!
- Be all his faults forgiven!
- Calm be his rest in heaven,
- Whose soul was love!
