Love letter 4 - Valentine


 Love letter 4-Edgar Allen Poe





























For her this rhyme is penned, whose luminous eyes,
B
rightly expressive as the twins of Leda,
Sh
all find her own sweet name, that nestling lies
Upo
n the page, enwrapped from every reader.
Sear
ch narrowly the lines! they hold a treasure
Devin
e-a talisman-an amulet
That mu
st be worn at heart. Search well the measure-
The word
s- the syllables! Do not forget
The trivi
alest point, or you may lose your labor
And yet the
re is in this no Gordian knot
Which one mi
ght not undo without a sabre,
If one could m
erely comprehend the plot.
Enwritten upo
n the leaf where now are peering
Eyes scintilla
ting soul, there lie perdus
Three eloquent
words oft uttered in the hearing
Of poets, by poet
s- as the name is a poet's, too,
Its letters, althou
gh naturally lying
Like the knight Pint
o-Mendez Ferdinando-
Still form a synonym f
or Truth - Cease trying!
You will not read the ri
ddle, though you do the
best you can do.
