The Forest Reverie

The Forest Reverie: Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer, poet, editor, and literary critic who is best known for his poetry and short stories.

’Tis said that when
The hands of men
Tamed this primeval wood,
And hoary trees with groans of woe,
Like warriors by an unknown foe,
Were in their strength subdued,
The virgin Earth Gave instant birth
