Catholic Hymn by Edgar Allan Poe — Gothic Poetry Dramatic Reading
Episode 3 min 9s
A voice turns to Mary, Queen of Angels, for guidance through sorrow and darkness. This brief dramatic reading of Edgar Allan Poe's Catholic Hymn, also known as Hymn, offers a quieter encounter with the author of The Raven. Prayer, memory, and the hope of protection give the poem its solemn movement. Listen for the images of light that answer the speaker's hours of care, and for a devotional side of Poe beyond his tales of terror. A three-minute literary interlude for listeners exploring Gothic poetry, nineteenth-century verse, and the emotional range of a familiar writer.
