question on poem

greenspun.com : LUSENET : The Work of Edgar Allan Poe : One Thread

there is a poem by poe I think that I just cant seem to find any where it is only a couple lines long and it is about a loved one lieing in the earth and he will be alone forever or something like that. It was only two lines long I think and I am trying to find the poem for a paper I am writing on dishearting poetry and that was going to be the main one talking about how short a poem can be and still have a large affect on people. Please post an answer if you know

thx -Ben

The poem is untitled, but usually called "Deep in Earth." The full text is:

Deep in earth my love is lying And I must weep alone.

The manuscript is thought to date from 1847.

I'll try that again: Deep in earth my love is lying
And I must weep alone.
