"A Valentine" by Edgar Allan Poe
1. For her this rhyme is penned whose luminous eyes
2 Brightly expressive as the twins of Leda,
3. Shall find her own sweet name, that nestling lies
4. Upon the page, enwrapped from every reader
5. Search narrowly the lines they hold a treasure
6. Divine a talisman-an amulet
7. That must be wom at heart Search well the measure
8. The words—the syllables! Do not forget
9. The trivialest point or you may lose your labor
10. And yet there is in this no Gordian knot
11. Which one might not undo without a sabre,
12. If one could merely comprehend the plot
13. Enwritten upon the leaf where now are peering
14. Eyes scintillating soul, there lio perdus
15. Three eloquent words oft uttered in the hearing
16 Of poets, by poets as the name is a poet's, too.
17. Its letters, although naturally lying
18. Like the knight Pinto-Mendez Ferdinando
19. Still form a synonym for Truth
Cease trying!
20. You will not read the riddle, though you do the best you can do
Based on the words luminous treasure, search Iose, scintillating, and riddle that are used in the poem, what does the poet think of love?
O Precious but mysterious
O Short-lived and fickle
Understandable but strange
Well-wom and comfortable
