ANNABEL LEE

Hey, its been awhile since I posted a poem. I know it looks long but it’s worth it. 
I really like this poem.
It’s one of my favorites .
It means a lot to me, I feel like this has a really strong moral.
That nothing should be able to separate you from the one you love and care about.
Anyways, enjoy this one. 
It’s even better if you read it aloud.

ANNABEL LEE
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 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 kinsman came 
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulcher
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 far then the love
Of those that were older than we,
Of many far wiser than we.
And neither the angels in eaten above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
If 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 sepulcher there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
                                                                                  - Edgar Allan Poe
