Virginia Poe, wife of Edgar Allen Poe, wrote the following poem to Edgar February 14th, 1846 (Valentines’ Day). She died January 30, 1847–less than one year later. Tuberculosis killed her. She was 24 years old at the time of death.
Ever with thee I wish to roam -
Dearest my life is thine.
Give me a cottage for my home
And a rich old cypress vine,
Removed from the world with its sin and care
And the tattling of many tongues.
Love alone shall guide us when we are there -
Love shall heal my weakened lungs;
And Oh, the tranquil hours we’ll spend,
Never wishing that others may see!
Perfect ease we’ll enjoy, without thinking to lend
Ourselves to the world and its glee -
Ever peaceful and blissful we’ll be

I recorded “Annabelle Lee” and I’m going to post it under “Voice Talent” part of my website. I was wondering if the picture on this site is copy-righted OR if I could use it?

I just checked your site. You are a “for profit” site, or so it would seem. I would be very careful if you have any questions regarding “use” availability. In any case I am not a legal expert of any kind and can NOT advise you on this.
Good luck and thanks for visiting. You are welcome back anytime.
