Eternal brood the shadows on this ground, <br />Dreaming of centuries that have gone before; <br />Great elms rise solemnly by slab and mound, <br />Arched high above a hidden world of yore. <br />Round all the scene a light of memory plays, <br />And dead leaves whisper of departed days, <br />Longing for sights and sounds that are no more. <br />Lonely and sad, a specter glides along <br />Aisles where of old his living footsteps fell; <br />No common glance discerns him, though his song <br />Peals down through time with a mysterious spell. <br />Only the few who sorcery's secret know, <br />Espy amidst these tombs the shade of Poe.<br /><br />Howard Phillips Lovecraft<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/where-once-poe-walked/
