The Conqueror Worm
Submitted by Berandon on March 17th, 2010
Out—out are the lights—out all!
And over each quivering form,
The curtain, a funeral pall,
Comes down with the rush of a storm,
And the Elves, all pallid and wan,
Uprising, unveiling, affirm
That the play is the tragedy, "Man,"
And its hero the Conqueror Worm.
- Modified from Ligeia by Edgar Allan Poe
