In order to have some text to work with I have tried to extract phrases or words from the original short story. The original is very (over) descriptive so i was cherry picking the strongest words and, had been pointed out to be by Nigel in a supervision Poe is using "parallelism" as a means of driving his point home. Meaning instead of one descriptive word he will list three, so the challenge was finding the 'best' words. I also had to try and find words which might be connected as line endings, if not exactly rhyming. Below is an example of how I marked up the story to extract the words I thought would 'sing well'.
