Edgar Allan Poe Sonnet Poems

There are some qualities- some incorporate things,
That have a double life, which thus is made
A type of that twin entity which springs
From matter and light, evinced in solid and shade.

Who alterest all things with thy peering eyes.
Why preyest thou thus upon the poet's heart,

Thy gentlest of all gentle names dost take!
How many memories of what radiant hours
At sight of thee and thine at once awake!
