| E. A. Poe | |
| Dear child, are you scared tonight? | |
| Your body is trembling | |
| Dear child, you are a tragic bride | |
| With a blemished mind | |
| Dear soul, | |
| I will take you | |
| To the very ends of the earth | |
| Dear soul | |
| I will break you | |
| The marble | |
| BREED is mine "Out - out are the lights - out all! And over each quivering form, The curtain, a funeral pall, Comes down with the rush of a storm, ..." | |
| Dear worm, are you strong enough? | |
| I will defy you | |
| Dear worm, | |
| I will rise up high | |
| From the glowing embers "...And the angels, all pallid and wan, Uprising, unveiling, affirm That the play is the tragedy, " | |
| Man", And its hero the conqueror Worm". |
