The Conqueror Worm

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

Lo! ’tis a gala night
Within the lonesome latter years!
An angel throng, bewinged, bedight
In veils, and drowned in tears,
Sit in a theatre, to see
A play of hopes and fears,
While the orchestra breathes fitfully
The music of the spheres.
