Everything gives a somewhat dark and gloomy feeling. I don't think Edgar Allan Poe, with his perspective of looking things, could have led a very happy life. His poems are excellent but dark and dreadful to think of... especially in nightmares!

Poe had a thing with the macabre things of life. Bringing coldness to burning stars and the far lost away feelings of life. Looking at the darker side of the spectrum of things in perspective.

A good poem indeed - keep in mind that is a rhymed and metered
poem typical of nineteenth century American poetry, not as some
seem to think, an outburst of 21st century emotion!
Relax and enjoy an excellent poem - for its time!

I turned to thee proud evening star - yes, i always seek the warmth of Poe, and this is one of them; lifts me up and keeps me up

i liked how he described the moon. when the moon is full it is easy to see her cold smile.

I THINK HE DESCRIBED EVERYTHING IN THE POEM SO VIVIDLY THAT IT FELT LIKE I WAS LOOKING AT THE STARS WITH HIM.

I agree with Carol; this is one of my favorite poems by Poe.
