Edgar Allan Poe - An Acrostic
Work rating: Medium

Elizabeth it is in vain you say 
"Love not" — thou sayest it in so sweet a way: 
In vain those words from thee or L. E. L. 
Zantippe`s talents had enforced so well: 
Ah! if that language from thy heart arise, 
Breathe it less gently forth — and veil thine eyes. 
Endymion, recollect, when Luna tried 
To cure his love — was cured of all beside — 
His folly — pride — and passion — for he died.
