BIOGRAPHY
Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was
born in Boston, the son of two actors who died
 before his third birthday. He was raised in the
United States and England by John Allan, with
whom he had a troubled relationship. Poe’s
adult life was difficult, too. He earned only a
meager living from his writings. Still, during his
short life he wrote poems and stories that have
made him one of the best-known American
authors. A critic has called his verse “easy but
unforgettable”

 Annabel Lee
By: Edgar Allan Poe

It was many and many a year ago,

In a kingdom by the sea. (The teacher will read the poem while the
That a maiden there lived whom you may know students listen)
By the name of Annabel Lee;--
5
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

She was a child and I was a child

In this kingdom by the sea.
But we loved with a love that was more than love—
10
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,
15
A wind blew out of a cloud by night
Chilling my Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulcher
20
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)
25
That the wind came out of the cloud, 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—
30
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

35
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;--
And the stars never rise but I see 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,
40
In her sepulcher there by the sea—
 In her tomb by the side of the sea.
E. DEVELOPING MASTERY
This poem is an example of what kind of poetry?
“Correct. It is a narrative poetry, a poetry that tells a
story. Narrative poems have a special appeal. They
present dramatic events vividly, using some of the
elements as short stories such as plot, characters and
even dialogue.
“Where do the events in this poem take place?”
“At what stage of life was the narrator when he fell in
love?”
“What cause Annabel Lee’s death?”
“Why can neither the angels nor the demons separate
the narrator’s soul from that of Annabel Lee?”
“What does the narrator do all the night tide?”
“How can a love be more than love?”
“How would you describe the love between the
narrator and Annabel Lee?”
“What can you say about the narrator’s mood?”
“The poet Countee Cullen once wrote, “Never love
with all your heart. It only ends in aching.” What does
he mean by this?”
“Do you think the narrator would agree? Why or why
not?”
“What have you noticed in the poem?”
“Not including the title, how many times does the
name Annabel Lee appear in the poem?”
“What line in the first stanza is repeated almost exactly
in the next three stanzas?”
“Which adjective describing Annabel Lee is repeated 3
times in the poem?”
“Why do you think the writer repeats the name
“Annabel Lee” so many times?”
“It is an example of a narrative poetry”
“In a kingdom by the sea”
“At a young age or when they were kids”
“She was chilled to death. The jealousy of the
angels was the reason why a wind came down
from a cloud and killed her”
“Because they love each other so much that
even death could not separate them”
“The narrator lies down beside the coffin of
Annabel Lee by the side of the sea”
“When you love with a love that was more than
love. Even death couldn’t be a hindrance and
that’s what they call eternal love”
“Their love was special and intense, even
though they were so young”
“The narrator feels nostalgic. There is longing
and sadness in his voice”
“It means, you don’t have to love too
selflessly. You still have to preserve some for
your own self in order not to suffer unbearable
pain in the end”
“No, he won’t. Because for him love is never
selfish”
“Some of the lines are repeated several times”
“It appeared 7 times”
“The line in the kingdom by the sea”
“beautiful”
“Because she’s the title character, and she’s
the reason the poem exists.”
F. GENERALIZATION
. “Based on the poem presented, define repetition”
“What are its purposes?”
Repetition is the use of a word or group of
words more than once.

There are those who gave their life as proof of their
undeniable love like famous heroes ho fought for our
freedom. If you are Dr. Jose Rizal, will you give your life “It creates a variety of effects such as
