Annotation of pmsdk/samples/petzold/chap09/poepoem.asc, revision 1.1

1.1     ! root        1: It was many and many a year ago,
        !             2:    In a kingdom by the sea,
        !             3: That a maiden there lived whom you may know
        !             4:    By the name of Annabel Lee;
        !             5: And this maiden she lived with no other thought
        !             6:    Than to love and be loved by me.
        !             7:  
        !             8: I was a child and she was a child
        !             9:    In this kingdom by the sea,
        !            10: But we loved with a love that was more than love --
        !            11:    I and my Annabel Lee --
        !            12: With a love that the wing�d seraphs of Heaven
        !            13:    Coveted her and me.
        !            14:  
        !            15: And this was the reason that, long ago,
        !            16:    In this kingdom by the sea,
        !            17: A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
        !            18:    My beautiful Annabel Lee;
        !            19: So that her highborn kinsmen came
        !            20:    And bore her away from me,
        !            21: To shut her up in a sepulchre
        !            22:    In this kingdom by the sea.
        !            23:  
        !            24: The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,
        !            25:    Went envying her and me --
        !            26: Yes! that was the reason (as all men know,
        !            27:    In this kingdom by the sea)
        !            28: That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
        !            29:    Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
        !            30:  
        !            31: But our love it was stronger by far than the love
        !            32:    Of those who were older than we --
        !            33:    Of many far wiser than we --
        !            34: And neither the angels in Heaven above
        !            35:    Nor the demons down under the sea
        !            36: Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
        !            37:    Of the beautiful Annabel Lee:
        !            38:  
        !            39: For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
        !            40:    Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
        !            41: And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
        !            42:    Of the beautiful Annabel Lee:
        !            43: And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
        !            44: Of my darling -- my darling -- my life and my bride,
        !            45:    In her sepulchre there by the sea --
        !            46:    In her tomb by the sounding sea.
        !            47:  
        !            48:                                        [May, 1849]
