Our class has been talking about poems. There are many types of poems like rhyming
poems, free verse poems, limericks, narrative poems, concrete poems, humorous poems
and haiku poems. One of our favorite poems is called Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan
Poe. The poem writes as followed:
It was many a year ago, in a kingdom by the sea, that a maiden there lived whom you
may know by the name Annabel Lee;and this maiden she lived with n 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 was 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 high-born kinsmen 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 and 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 those 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 -may darling -my life and my bride, I the sepulchre there by the sea
, in her tune by the sounding sea .
