Annabel Lee BY 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, But we loved with a love that was more than love With a love that the wingd seraphs of Heaven Coveted her and me. And this was the reason that, long ago, I and my Annabel Lee In this kingdom by the sea,

Yes Maam

In this kingdom by the sea, A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling My beautiful Annabel Lee; So that her highborn kinsmen came 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. And bore her away from me,

But our love it was stronger by far than the love Of those who were older 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; Of many far wiser than we

For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side Of my darlingmy darlingmy life and my bride, In her sepulchre there by the sea Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

In her tomb by the sounding sea. Post Reading:

How do you find the poem? How about the setting of the poem? The speaker states that it happened long time ago in a kingdom by the sea.

Yes! He maybe lets us know that Kingdom by the sea is the setting of the story, or it can be the mood of the story. When we say Kingdom by the sea we can think of it is a beautiful place where the speaker and Annabel Lee lives. How about the title? What can you say about the title? Why do you think is Annabel Lee is the title of the poem? Yes because the poem revolves around her. Shes the reason why the poem exists.

Group one is assigned to explain the first stanza, group two is for the second stanza, group three is for the third stanza and so on. Each group will choose a representative to present your explanation about the poem. Im giving you 3minutes to analyse or It was titled Annabel Lee because the poem is all about her. Shes the subject of the poem.

E.

Generalization

To sum up the poem class, what is the poem all about? Yes Mark To sum up the poem, "Annabel Lee" is about a beautiful, painful memory. The speaker of the poem is remembering his long-lost love, Annabel Lee.

Yes Very good! The speaker knew Annabel Lee many years ago. Even though they were young, these two were really, seriously in love. How intense their love was?

Yes Keno

So in love that even the angels in heaven noticed and were jealous and killed Annabel Lee.

Who took away Annabel Lee from the persona of the poem? And what happened next? Yes Stella Her relatives came and took her away from the speaker and put her in sepulchre. Our speaker wants us to know that his love for Annabel Lee was infinite and unexplainable. A thing like death isn't going to separate him from Annabel Lee. Not even angels or devils could do that. He still sees her in his dreams. In fact he still loves her so much (here's where it gets really weird) that hes willing to die just to see his love.
Yes Maam

What does the speaker want us to know?
