Edgar Allen Poe

Edgar Allen Poe er en utrolig dygtig digter og jeg har valgt og ligge et digt ind som jeg altid har holdt af
det hedder 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 og 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 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 beautifull 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.
