  6. 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 wingèd 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 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 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 her sepulchre there by the sea—    In her tomb by the sounding sea.

  7. Poetic device 1 • “That the wind came out of the cloud, chilling and killing my Annabel Lee” • this is personification • cloud does not have the ability to kill a person.

  8. Poetic device 2 • “The angles not half so happy in heaven” • this is an alliteration • the letter "H" is being repeated at the beginning of three words in this line.

  9. Poetic device 3 • “And so, all the night- tied, I lie down by the side Of my darling my darling my life and my bride.” • this is an example of assonance • the "I" sound is repeated in four words.

  10. Theme • Memory and Reminiscing • because he states that this was many and many years ago when she was alive and they were in love. • also because he is only remembering the good parts of there relationship and not the bad parts when they fought.

  11. Influents • Poe’s influents of this poem is his lost love • they were so in love when she died of tuberculosis.

  12. Style • his style for this poem is the repeating of the "E" sound at the end of most of the lines • A style in most of his writing is the death of a beautiful woman because it carries emotional power.
