Annabel Lee/ Edgar Allan Poe

Annabel Lee
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 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.

  24. In the second sanza, Edgar thought seraphs were evil, so I suppose to he believes in life after death(religion).
    love is eternal ,even death could not tear them. So Edgar thought Annabel still with him.
    I don't want to be remember like them, so disgusting.
    He was so young and just ruined his afterlife.

  35. Yes, I believe the author connect this thought to the poem.
    It's a complicated question, it's been argument for centuries. In my opinion, there's no line to separate what is healthy and unhealthy grief, it's only the line to separate what you believe. And in this poem, there's no maintain where is the difference of healthy and unhealthy.
