Three Poets
Literature has for a long time been appreciated by poets who have influenced some people by their work. There are three poems which relate to each other by having many similarities in different contexts. One of the poems includes “she walks in beauty” which was written by George Gordon. It is a short iambic poem which was written in 1813 which was one of the most famous works of Gordon. Another poem is “Annabel Lee” which was composed by an American Author, Edgar Allan Poe.
