Acrostic Poem by Edgar Allen Poe

An acrostic is a poem or puzzle where certain letters in a line form something. 

Acrostic By Edgar Allen Poe/Bio Information

 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.
