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!
