EDGAR ALLAN POETRY

Can you guess if the poetry sample was written by a person?

for, alas alas with me
the light of life is oer
no more--no more--no more--
such language holds the solemn sea
to the sands upon the shore
shall bloom the thunder-blasted tree,
or the stricken eagle soar
and all my days are trances,
and all my nightly dreams
are where thy dark eye glances,
and where thy footstep gleams--
in what ethereal dances,
