From Wikipedia:
An acrostic poem in English written by Edgar
Allan Poe (ELIZABETH):
An Acrostic
Elizabeth it is in vain you say
"Love not" -- thou sayest it in so sweet
a way:
In vain those words from thee or L.E.L.
Zantippe's talents had
enforced so well:
Ah! if that language from thy heart arise,
Breath it
less gently forth -- and veil thine eyes.
Endymion, recollect, when Luna
tried
To cure his love -- was cured of all beside --
His follie --
pride -- and passion -- for he died.
