“Annabel Lee” was written by Edgar Allan Poe in 1849. The popularity of the poem lies in the fact that it represents love in its most pure form.
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.

Childhood is thinking this poem is weird because the narrator visits his love's grave every night. Adulthood is knowing what it means to love someone so deeply, so fiercely, that you'd rather crawl under the earth with them than go another day without them by your side.

This is the very first Edgar Allen Poe poem I ever heard and read. I've been listening on repeat for several minutes, and I'm in tears. I feel such sadness, grief, and love. I had someone special, ever since I was a 5-year-old girl. His name was Nick. We were best friends since the very beginning, closest playmates at school. Ever since I discovered, Nick has fully supported my passion for writing. He was always by my side when the rest of the world wouldn't be. Little did I know, I had been in love with him for pretty much our entire lives. He was THE one for me. Over the years, our relationship grew from playmates, to best friends, to sweethearts. We really started having feelings in sixth grade, and after graduating 8th grade, we decided to start dating. We were very in love, but I was quite shy. Our relationship didn't last very long, though. Only after a year since we started dating, Nick suddenly passed away at only 15 years old. He had a heart attack in his sleepy due to a rare heart condition. The autopsy found that his heart was swollen. I've been in deep grief ever since, and it still hurts so much, despite the years. Despite the pain I go through every day, and what I've gone through ever since the tragic day of June 9, 2013, I remember the love Nick and I had and nurtured for the better through the years we spent together. Those years I spent....some of the very best times I can remember. He was always by my side, despite everything. He was there for me more than most of my ableist family. I'm autistic, and so was he. So, we simply just understood each other from the very beginning. I think about him, the memories we shared, and the love we had for each other and let grow, every single day. Even though it'll be 11 years this June, the pain tends to still feel fresh. I miss Nick every single day. I had dreams that I would be his bride, his one and only. We had even talked about it a few times, agreeing we would spend our lives together. There are many nights where I just lay in bed, thinking about him, thinking how I could've done better as his love, as his one and only. I feel some regret, but I know there's nothing more I can do. I just let myself feel the pain, cry the tears when I have to, and look back on the memories. I love you, Nick, and I miss you every day. 💔🥺

Actually, what the poem explores is a man's dangerous obsession with the girl he once loved. Every night, he goes into her tomb, and sleeps next to her corpse. That's not beautiful to me. That's DISTURBING.

I recently went to Richmond, VA and stayed at Linden Row Inn, a very quaint Inn in downtown area where Poe lived all those years ago. They had Poe's complete works books spread out all over, along with a raven on every fireplace mantle. I immediately recalled a line of this poem when I asked the desk clerk what the cat's name was and she said Annabel. This presentation is awesome! I don't think I've read this poem in 40 years and this was a great way to hear it again. thx!
