Shadowed Gloom

Composer: SingerNoID Lyricist: Frances Sargent Osgood "The Rival" Contact: singernoid@gmail.com Based on the poignant verses of Frances Sargent Osgood, this track captures a haunting 19th-century farewell. Written as a final letter to Edgar Allan Poe, it breathes the weariness of a soul tired of fighting a shadow. Osgood’s struggle was not with a living rival, but with the ghost of 'Annabel Lee'-the impossible, idealized love that Poe enshrined in his heart and his poems. Realizing she could never compete with a phantom whose throne was the tomb, Osgood chose the dignity of silence over the agony of being a second choice. I cannot blame thee, if my face Has lost its bloom of yore, I cannot blame thee, if thine eyes Have learned to love me more. I cannot blame thee, if the heart Whose every pulse was thine, Should seek in other, colder realms, A worship more divine. But go! I will not bind a heart That would from me be free, And though my life be dark and lone, I’ll not complain of thee. I’ll hear no more! - not even to thy story, Though wild and strange it be; I will not share with her the glory, Of being loved by thee. For she is dead!-the cold, the bright, The beautiful, the lost! And I - I’m but a weary light, By every billow tossed. Then go! - thy heart is with the dead, Thy soul is in the tomb; I will not share a love so dread, So shadowed by its gloom.
