I found a wonderful poem by Edgar Allen Poe that possesses remarkable musicality.<\/i><\/p>\n
It was many and many a year ago,<\/p>\n
In a kingdom by the sea,<\/p>\n
That a maiden there lived whom you may know<\/p>\n
By the name of Annabel Lee;<\/p>\n
And this maiden she lived with no other thought<\/p>\n
Than to love and be loved by me.<\/p>\n
I was a child and she was a child,<\/p>\n
In this kingdom by the sea,<\/p>\n
But we loved with a love that was more than love—<\/p>\n
I and my Anabel Lee—<\/p>\n
With a love that the winged seraphs of Heaven<\/p>\n
Coveted her and me.<\/p>\n
And this was the reason that, long ago,<\/p>\n
In this kingdom by the sea,<\/p>\n
A wind blew out of a cloud by night<\/p>\n
Chilling my Annabel Lee;<\/p>\n
So that her highborn kinsmen came<\/p>\n
And bore here away from me,<\/p>\n
To shut her up in a sepulchre<\/p>\n
In this kingdom by the sea.<\/p>\n
The angles, not half so happy in Heaven,<\/p>\n
Went envying here and me:<\/p>\n
Yes! that was the reason (as all men know,<\/p>\n
in this kingdom by the sea)<\/p>\n
That the wind came out of the cloud, chilling<\/p>\n
and killing my Annabel Lee.<\/p>\n
But our love it was stronger by far than the love<\/p>\n
of those who were older than we—<\/p>\n
of many far wiser than we— <\/p>\n
And neither the angles in Heaven above<\/p>\n
nor the daemons down under the sea,<\/p>\n
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul <\/p>\n
of the beautiful Annabel lee:<\/p>\n
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams<\/p>\n
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;<\/p>\n
And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes<\/p>\n
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;<\/p>\n
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side<\/p>\n
Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride,<\/p>\n
In her sepulchre there by the sea-<\/p>\n
In her tomb by the side of the sea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
