"The Lake" Edgar Allan Poe

The Lake
By Edgar Allan Poe
The poem called "The Lake" written by Edgar Allan Poe is about a person wandering along that ends up coming to a lake. The narrator explains that the lake is surrounded by tall pine trees and has large black rocks in the bottom of it. As they are is out on the lake a slow breeze blows across the lake and creates waves that crash up against the shore. What the narrator is talking about in the last stanza is that death is the only solace for those who have no hope.
Alone, alone
Alone in the dark room
No one cares about me
so Lonely that i don`t find one to say ' hey '
No one can understand my feelings, my pain
No one can satisfy my soul
My soul covered with Darkness
empty with the precious values
full of the nothingness of the world
the estrangement forms a pic, a wired pic
No one can see, except me
so frightened this world
trying to escape from the pic
no hope to make it a way
following me as myself
Have one aim is to kill
decide to stop running
to find away to hide
New feeling i got to release
For the first time iam ready for the fight
But, it`s not important who will win
What really matters that ' i tried to prove myself '
I think this poem connects to Poe's life because he spent most of his life without hope. In the end of the poem it talks about only finding solace in death which I think is a lot like how Poe found no solace in life. Poe probably wrote this poem at a time in his life when he was having alot of problems.
