Poe is one of my all time favorite poets. Dark poet is what he is known for.
Paj Tshiab
It was long and long a year ago.
In a kingdom by the sky
That a girl live there who you may know
Her name was by Paj Tshiab
And this girl she lived with no other thought
Than to love me and be loved by me
I was a teen and she was a teen.
In this kingdom by the sky:
But we love with a love that was more than love
I and my Paj Tshiab
The love that the castle of another king
Coveted her and me
This was the reason why, long ago
In this kingdom by the sky
The castle blew out of the cloud, seeking
My beautiful Paj Tshiab
So that her noble kinsman came,
To lock her in his castle
In a kingdom by the sky
The king, not so content in his castle
Went envying her and me
Sure! that was the reason why (all men know,
In this kingdom by the sky)
That the castle blew out of the cloud by night
Chilling and seeking my Paj Tshiab
However our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we
Of many wiser than we
And neither the King in the castle above
Nor the men down under the sky
Can ever dissension my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Paj Tshiab
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Paj Tshiab
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Paj Tshiab
Furthermore so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my sweetheart -sweetheart -my life and my bride
In the castle there by the sky
