QUOTH THE DEMON  . . . .

The end of the story, never ending
Haunting thoughts that will not cease
Thoughts from hell, the devil sending
Robbing me of any peace

Demon from hell, why doth thou haunt me
With these thoughts of my sweet Lenore
Will I see her e'er again
Said the demon, nevermore

What then, shall I sit and ponder
Tell me demon, I implore
Shall my thoughts forever wonder
Or be stilled forevermore

What ending do I have in sight
Through this long beguiling night
For my soul is yearning sore
To be rid of this anguish evermore 

Will morning come in blissful splendor
And quell the fear of hell's agenda
Or must I remain in dark to wander
 With thoughts of Lenore to ever ponder

Thank you, Laura! I have always been fond of this Poe poem. When I saw the picture, it prompted me to coattail it. I hope it doesn't seem like plagiarism!
