“I heed not that my earthly lot …” by Edgar Allan Poe

“I heed not that my earthly lot …” by Edgar Allan Poe 🇺🇸 (19 Jan 1809 – 7 Oct 1849)

I heed not that my earthly lot

Hath—little of Earth in it—

That years of love have been forgot

In the hatred of a minute:—

I mourn not that the desolate

Are happier, sweet, than I,

But that you sorrow for my fate

Who am a passer-by.
