["A Campaign Song," probably written early in 1844.] A Campaign Song by Edgar Allen Poe
See the White Eagle soaring aloft to the sky,
-The End- |
|
[This fragment was first attributed to Poe by his friend Gabriel Harrison, in
the New York Times Saturday Review for March 4, 1899. Harrison, an actor
and artist, briefly owned and managed a tea and tobacco store in New York,
where he met Poe about 1844. There is no surviving manuscript, nor was the
song ever printed during Poe's lifetime. Instead, it was recalled by Harrison
from memory.] (notes from: http://www.eapoe.org/)
