Annabel Lee Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCB DBEBFB ABGBHBIB FBABJB EBBEBKB LBMBNNBBIt was many and many a year ago | A |
In a kingdom by the sea | B |
That a maiden there lived whom you may know | A |
By the name of ANNABEL LEE | B |
And this maiden she lived with no other thought | C |
Than to love and be loved by me | B |
- | |
I was a child and she was a child | D |
In this kingdom by the sea | B |
But we loved with a love that was more than love | E |
I and my ANNABEL LEE | B |
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven | F |
Coveted her and me | B |
- | |
And this was the reason that long ago | A |
In this kingdom by the sea | B |
A wind blew out of a cloud chilling | G |
My beautiful ANNABEL LEE | B |
So that her highborn kinsmen came | H |
And bore her away from me | B |
To shut her up in a sepulchre | I |
In this kingdom by the sea | B |
- | |
The angels not half so happy in heaven | F |
Went envying her and me | B |
Yes that was the reason as all men know | A |
In this kingdom by the sea | B |
That the wind came out of the cloud by night | J |
Chilling and killing my ANNABEL LEE | B |
- | |
But our love it was stronger by far than the love | E |
Of those who were older than we | B |
Of many far wiser than we | B |
And neither the angels in heaven above | E |
Nor the demons down under the sea | B |
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul | K |
Of the beautiful ANNABEL LEE | B |
- | |
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams | L |
Of the beautiful ANNABEL LEE | B |
And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes | M |
Of the beautiful ANNABEL LEE | B |
And so all the night tide I lie down by the side | N |
Of my darling my darling my life and my bride | N |
In her sepulchre there by the sea | B |
In her tomb by the side of the sea | B |
