Jon,

This poem was written for a woman who was a friend of Poe and his wife, Virginia. Her name is spelled out in the poem and can be found by taking the first letter from the first line, the second letter from the second line, and so on. Spaces and punctuation don't count, only letters. Good luck : )

Regards,

Jon, the answer is Frances Sargent Osgood. I should know because I spent 30 minutes trying to solve it.
