Halloween Party 2012







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 the 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 highborn kinsman 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 the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
Edgar Allan Poe
This poem always makes me tear when I read it. I just can't help it.

    Can't believe I am so far the only post you have? Really, people are missing out. I really enjoyed your visual Edgar A Poes' "AnnaBell Lee". Perhaps it it because your blog link was amidst a bunch of others that had no postings????? just a guess,Anyway I am glad I ventured a peek. Just lovely (and kinda dark...which is the way I like it) hehe he.
    Thanks for inviting me.

  32. I am a bit ashamed to admit it, but my knowledge of Edgar Allen Poe is rather limited. But this is a lovely and very sad poem and I do love your art work for it! I am a rubber stamper myself and I really love that you printed the poem out with stamps! I know how tedious that can be, so BRAVO!

    Thank you for having me at your party! When you get the chance, won't you please visit at mine?:
