“Annabel Lee” by Edgar Allan Poe One of the most beautiful Victorian poems ever written was that of Edgar Allan Poe. The poem is titled “Annabel Lee”. This poem marks the life and death of Poe's wife. “My darling, my darling, my life and my wife” (39), these are the words that lovers all over the world should use to demonstrate the love they feel for their partner. In the poem Poe describes his one true love and his tragic death to show how much he is suffering and the longing he has for her. This poem also shows his personal beliefs about death and their love for the sea. The poem talks about the envy her family members had for their love for each other.

For this element Poe repeats several lines several times, such as “Of the beautiful Annabel Lee” (35) and “In this kingdom by the sea” (24). He wants the reader to be fully aware of what this poem is about and make sure they know how important he believes his words are. Repetition helps Poe flesh out a distressing issue in his writing. This is the loss of his beloved Annabel
