ANNABEL LEE BY EDGAR ALLAN POE
En este poema el yo poético evoca su amor de
juventud por Annabel Lee “en un reino junto al mar”,
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.
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–
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 by night
Chilling
my Annabel Lee;
So that her
high-born 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 a 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-
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 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,
In
her sepulchre there by the sea–
In
her tomb by the side of the sea.
