Interpretation of "Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allan Poe

in my english class we had to make a visual of what we were thinking of when reading stories/poems representing dark romanticism. i did mine on bits and pieces from the poem of "Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allan Poe. heres the poem:



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




i used clips from six feet under, pushing daisies, the notebook, the ring, titanic, and lonelygirl15 (i do not own any of these, they are owned by the studios who produced the shows/movies. i give credit to them)

i focused on how the guy who lost his love would go and see her grave at night and how he missed her dearly. the black and white clips with the heart beat/monitor sounds are thoughts he has as he puts his love's body in the grave.

hope you enjoy! tell me what you think :)
