Annotation of pmsdk/samples/petzold/chap09/poepoem.asc, revision 1.1.1.1

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]
