Annabel Lee

Annabell Lee

by Edgar Allan Poe

It was many and many a year ago,

In a kingdom by the sea,

That a maiden there lived whom you may know

By the name of ANNABEL LEE;

And this maiden she lived with no other thought

Than to love and be loved by me.

 

I was a child and she was a child,

In this kingdom by the sea;

But we loved with a love that was more than love-

I and my Annabel Lee;

With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven

Coveted her and me.

 

And this was the reason that, long ago,

In this kingdom by the sea,

A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling

My beautiful Annabel Lee;

So that her highborn kinsman came

And bore her away from me,

To shut her up in a sepulchre

In this kingdom by the sea.

 

The angels, not half so happy in heaven,

Went envying her and me-

Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know,

In this kingdom by the sea)

That the wind came out of the cloud by night,

Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

 

But our love it was stronger by far than the love

Of those who were older than we-

Of many far wiser than we-

And neither the angels in heaven above,

Nor the demons down under the sea,

Can ever dissever my soul from the soul

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.

 

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side

Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride,

In the sepulchre there by the sea,

In her tomb by the sounding sea.

did you see that movie that came out awhile ago... "The Raven"? I felt like going home right after watching it to break into my Edgar Allan Poe collection. Haha!

Actually, I saw the movie, but I prefer by far the poem! now there are some movies of Poe's tales they are going to make, but anyway, I like to read and imagine that in my way! :3~

I saw The Raven and the Imortal or The Tomb

The only one I like is the Tim Burton animation Vincent, which was only inspired on Poe!

Oh I haven't seen Vincent, so I'll have to check that out! ^_^

I much prefer reading his poems as well, though I find it interesting to see his poetry show up in other media, like a spin on a classic or something (I don't know if that made sense haha!)

But yay, a fellow Poe lover!

This is a beautiful poem babe.

Edgar Allan Poe, is such a darling, with the words.

As by reading it, every phrase just came so meaningful, it's beautiful like a song.

I've never read anything by Edgar Allan Poe before, however that happened,

but I liked this one. It was... well, don't know how to describe it, really.

It was magnificent.
