From its present pathway part not!
Being everything which now thou art,
Be nothing which thou art not!

Notes:
“F——” is Frances Sargent Osgood. Appearing in an unsigned and truncated version, squeezed at the end of a column (after Poe's tale “Diddling Considered as one of the Exact Sciences” and before “Blanche,” a poem by L. J. Cist), Poe's poem is clearly being used as filler material.
