Explore "The Scarlet Gown: THE BANISHED BEJANT FROM THE UNPUBLISHED REMAINS OF EDGAR ALLAN POE" by Robert Fuller Murray on Textopian.
Through many lands and over many seas / I come, my Brother, to thine obsequies, / To pay thee the last honours that remain, / And call upon thy voiceless dust, in vain. / Since cruel fate has robbed me even of thee, / Unhappy Brother, snatched away from me, / Now none the less the gifts our fathers gave, / The melancholy honours of the grave, / Wet with my tears I bring to thee, and say / Farewell! farewell! for ever and a day.
