Corny, old, and common I know but this is my favorite poem.
It was many and many a year ago, In a kingdom by the sea, That a maiden there lived whom you may know By the name of ANNABEL LEE;-- And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me.
She was a child and I was a child, In this kingdom by the sea, But we loved with a love that was more than love-- I and my Annabel Lee-- With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago, In this kingdom by the sea, A wind blew out of a cloud by night Chilling my Annabel Lee; So that her high-born kinsman came And bore her away from me, To shut her up in a sepulchre In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so happy in Heaven, Went envying her and me:-- Yes! that was the reason (as all men know, In this kingdom by the sea) That the wind came out of a cloud, chilling And killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love it was stronger by far than the love Of those who were older than we-- Of many far wiser than we- And neither the angels in Heaven above, Nor the demons down under the sea, Can ever dissever my soul from the soul Of the beautiful Annabel Lee:--
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride, In her sepulchre there by the sea-- In her tomb by the side of the sea.

Ezra Pound EmpathicPrince First line or not, isn't it still an original by Edgar Allen Poe? I even sang the solo for the song in the choir. (we turned it tinto a song) And I'm just asking if he claimed it as his own. I mean, if you're going to take poetry from another person (not saying you are stealing) you might want to make it something not so famous. *shrugs* Read the first line again.Quote: Corny, old, and common I know but this is my favorite poem. "Corny, old, and common". Who the hell would characterize something they wrote as such?
Oh my god! I am so sorry for making a big scene, if it was one. I read that it was his FIRST poem. I misread that completely! Once again, I am very sorry. I read way to fast. I might want to slow that down.
*laughs at his mistake*
