The shortest poem ever written by Edgar Allan Poe was 15 lines long:
Thy beauty is to me Like those Nicean barks of yore, That gently, o'er a perfum'd sea, The weary way-worn wanderer bore To his own native shore.On desperate seas long won't to roam, Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face, Thy Naiad airs have brought me home To the beauty of fair Greece, And the grandeur of old Rome.Lo! in that little window-niche How statue-like I see thee stand! The folded scroll within thy hand - A Psyche from the regions which Are Holy land!~so pretty much, Poe has fallen in love with Helen and thinks she is the world.
The poem: TO HELEN was composed by Edgar Allan Poe
