In the poem "Annabell Lee" the poet Eggar Allen Poe brings.
out the theme that true love will never die.
This is a poem that is timely in its relevance. There are few.
people who ever find true love. But for the people who do find perfect love,.
the love for their mate, the love for their companion does not die with that.
person. To Poe this poem had a great deal of relevance because Poe wrote.
this poem about how he felt after the loss of his dear wife.
In this poem, the fact that true love never dies is practically.
shoved down the reader"s throat. Throughout the entire poem the poet states.
over and over that his love for Annabel Lee is a love that feels greater than.
love. And he feels that angels in heaven are jealous of his love and that is the.
reason she died. Then he states that "And neither the angels in Heaven.
above/ Nor the demons down under the sea,/ Can ever dissever my soul from.
the soul/ Of beautiful Annabell Lee." He basically states there that his.
remarkable and rare love will not ever dissolve, even though his companion.
is deceased.
The poet goes on to say " For the moon never beams without.
bringing me dreams/ Of beautiful Annabell Lee." Through this statement Poe.
is trying to say that just because she died doesn"t mean he"s is not still with.
her. He is with her in his dreams, and that when the angels took her away.
from him it was pointless because their love is as strong as ever.
Finally, one of the last statements made in this poem is one.
that shows great compassion. It states "And the stars never rise but I see the.
bright eyes/ Of beautiful Annabell Lee; And so, all the night-tide; I lie down.
by the side/ Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride." Now, the.
creator of this poem is saying that death did nothing to stop their love, and.
that he feels just as close to her as when she lay by his side giving him.
comfort and the will to go on.
