Lenore

'Lenore' is a poem by the American author Edgar Allan Poe. It began as a different poem, 'A Paean', and was not published as 'Lenore' until 1843.
The poem discusses proper decorum in the wake of the death of a young woman, described as 'the queenliest dead that ever died so young'. The poem concludes: 'No dirge shall I upraise,/ But waft the angel on her flight with a paean of old days!' Lenore's fiancé, Guy de Vere, finds it inappropriate to 'mourn' the dead; rather, one should celebrate their ascension to a new world. Unlike most of Poe's poems relating to dying women, 'Lenore' implies the possibility of meeting in paradise.
