Description:

Annabel Lee is Edgar Allan Poe's final completed poem - a haunting ballad of love so powerful it defies even death. Set in a "kingdom by the sea," the narrator recounts a romance with the beautiful Annabel Lee, a bond so pure and radiant that even celestial powers grow jealous. What follows is a tragic tale of loss, longing, and eternal devotion, as the speaker clings to the memory of his beloved despite the grave's cold claim.

Poe weaves together the gothic and the ethereal, transforming grief into lyrical beauty. The sea becomes both a backdrop and a specter - its tides echoing the relentless pull of memory and the undying heartbeat of the narrator's love.

A cornerstone of American Romanticism, Annabel Lee endures as one of literature's most poignant meditations on love's refusal to fade, reminding us that some bonds remain unbroken, "in this kingdom by the sea."
