Author of legends, old and new.
Sleepy Hollow's secrets he unfurled,
Histories of America, a world
In which folklore and fact intertwine,
Narrative genius, a voice so fine.
Grandmaster of prose, his words take flight,
Telling stories, day and night.
One of the greats, his legacy endures,
Never forgotten, forever pure.
In the annals of literature, his name,
Reaching heights, forever aflame.
Visions of wonder, forever he brings,
In the hearts of readers, forever he sings.
Novel and short story, a master he stands,
Giving voice to the land.
