EDGAR ALLAN POETRY

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

whose face and eyes none may see
out of its robes only this--the red robes, lifted by the arm--
one finger crooked, pointed high over the top, like the head of a snake
appears
meanwhile, corpses lie in new-made graves--bloody corpses of young men
the rope of the gibbet hangs heavily, the bullets of princes are flying,
the creatures of power laugh aloud,
and all these things bear fruits--and they are good
those corpses of young men,
those martyrs that hang from the gibbets--those hearts pierced by the grey
lead,
cold and motionless as they seem, live elsewhere with unslaughtered
