An Unpublished Poem of
Edgar Allen Poe.
Eds. Independent:

Eos. independent:
The Kokomo (Indiana) Dispatch
a few years ago gave the following
account of an unpublished postum
nous poem from the gifted but err
ratio Edgar Allen Poe: calling at
the house of a gentleman of this city
the other day our attention was call
ed to a poem written on the blank fly
leaf of an old book. Noticing the
initials E. A. 2. at the bottom of
the poem, we asked who the author
was, when he related the following
interesting Renaissance. He said
his grand parents kept country ho-
tel in small village called Chester
field, near Richmond, Virginia. One
night just before bedtime, a young
man who showed plainly the marks
of dissipation, raped at the door,
asked if he could stay all night and
was shown to a room. When they
went to his room next morning to
call him to breakfast, he had gone
away and left the book, on the fly
leaf of which he had written the lines
below. The manuscript contains
not the least sign of erasure or a
single interlineated word. We give
the poem verbatim just as it appears
in the original"

LEoNAINIE.

Leonainie-angels named her;
And they took the right
OF the laughing stars and framed her
In a smile of whites
And they made her hair of
gloomy
Midnight, and her eyes of
bloomy
Moonshine, and they brought
her to me
In the solemn night.
In solemn night of summer,
When my heart of gloom
Blossomed up to greet the conner
Like rose in bloom;
All forebodings that distressed
/ forgot as JOY caressed me-
Lying joy that caught and press
ed me
In the arms of doom }
Only spake the little lisper
La the angel-tongue;
Yet l, listening heard her whisper
Songs are only sung
Here below that they may grleve
Tales are told you to deceive
you
SO must Leonainie leave you
While her love is young"
Then God smiled and it was morning,
Matches and supreme;
Heaven glory seemed adorn'ng
Earth with its esteem;
Every heart but mine seemed
gifted
With the voice of prayer, and
Where my Leonainie drifted "a
From me like dream. E. A. P.
Those who are familiar with POe's
poetry cannot fail to perceive in the
above the same flashes of genius that
pervade 1.-The Raven" and other
productions of his pen. In the first
four lines of the last stanZa there is
sublimity and grandeur where the
music and the melody reveal unmis-
takably the highest style of descrip-
tive poetic beauty
Then God smiled and it was morning,
Matchless and supreme;
Heavens beauty seemed adjoining
Earth with its este EN-.
There is a mournful cadence in
the remaining lines. His Leonainie,
like Virgil's Iris, has vanished. The
Muse has, in the light of morning,
descended from her throne, and the
poet, sad and alone, would fain have
lifted his soul in the voice of prayer
to the place where the lovely phan-
tom of his imagination had "drift-
ed" ).
