Poetica (All Beauty Sleeps) is the 11th album by Sopor Æternus & the Ensemble of Shadows. The album consists of musical adaptations of Poe's poems, some of them already made by Cantodea in previous albums: Dreamland is found on Todeswunsch - Sous le soleil de Saturne under the title of "Die Bruderschaft des Schmerzes"; Alone on Voyager - The Jugglers of Jusa; The Sleeper on Dead Lovers' Sarabande (Face One); and The Conqueror Worm on Flowers in Formaldehyde. However, all the musical arrangements were redone in the new versions.
