Happy Birthday, Edgar Allan Poe.
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;- vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow- sorrow for the lost Lenore-
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore-
Nameless here for evermore.
- Excerpt from The Raven.(19th January, 1809 - 7th October, 1849)

did a post just like this one,...can’t believe it
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor....
