The majority of the students were concerned about his obsession, the depression behind the poem and could not get past the issue of the age difference between Virginia and Edgar.
Posted By: Reely Posted On: Mar 17, 2009 Views: 503	words of the poem Henry Lee -- you must have missed the link on the left hand column that shows the original manuscript of the poem in Poe's handwriting. You can also google 'tomb by side of sea tomb by sounding sea' But, thanks for your comment. It led to adding the revised version as well and replacing one of the 'terrible' readings with another that no doubt isn't close to James Mason's or any other professional thespian. Hopefully, not having an astounding and professional voice won't stop poetry lovers everywhere from reciting poetry out loud. Note: The same poll will appear on both versions.
Posted By: Henry Lee Posted On: Jan 31, 2009 Views: 561	Annabel Lee The poem is beautiful. The two readings given here are terrible. The actor James Mason made a fine recording of this poem in the 1950s with a beautiful musical background. It was issued on a 12" LP along with his recordings of Poe's 'The Tell-tale Heart', 'Silence'. I have a number of copies of this poem in different collections of poetry, but I have never seen this poem with the wording like this copy. Every copy I have seen says, "I was a child and she was a child..." instead of "She was a child and I was a child...". Also, in the last line the most common wording is "...in her tomb by the sounding sea."

Posted By: marta ibañez Posted On: Oct 22, 2008 Views: 369	annabel lee I've enjoyed this poem. I think that Allan Poe in this poem shows his capacity of transmit his feelings. It's very romantic and at the same time very sad.
Posted By: Ingrid Gomez Posted On: Oct 21, 2008 Views: 300	Annabel Lee In my opinion this poem is a prove that the real love exists. If a man could do something as beautiful as this poem, I was mistaken when I thought that this kind of love was only in fairy tales. I must recognise that I envy Virginia because she received the best love poem.

Posted By: Yaiza Posted On: Oct 19, 2008 Views: 184	Annabel Lee's poem I really enjoyed it, he shows his honest feelings for her and I think it's very romantic and beautiful to show what we feel by writing. I also read a Poe's book at school when I was younger and I think he had such a facilty to transmit sensations...
Posted By: Albert Posted On: Oct 19, 2008 Views: 187	Annabel Lee I think its a great poem beacuse it shows how he feels after the death of his wife and he achieve to transmit us the same feelings of love and sadness.
Posted By: Marc Posted On: Oct 19, 2008 Views: 183	Comment Annabel Lee It is a good poem, the typical poem of love to a girl, the feelings that he feels and the moments so much he likes together with her.
Posted By: Aurora Rodríguez Posted On: Oct 19, 2008 Views: 188	Annabel Lee I’ve loved it by the way in which Poe expresses the pain he feels for the loss of his wife, saying she was snatched by the envy that angels were feeling of their love. In my opinion, it’s a very romantic and touching poem.
