很久很久以前，
In a kingdom by the sea,

That a maiden there lived whom you may know

By the name of Annabel Lee;

Than to love and be loved by me.

She was a child and I was a child

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.
都在惦记，觊觎想把它获去。
And this was the reason that, long ago,

A wind blew out of a cloud by night
一阵大风从暗夜的云朵里
Chilling my Annabel Lee;

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,

Went envying her and me:---

But our love it was stronger by far than the love

Of those who were older than we---
来得更热烈---
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 my darling, my darling, my life and my bride,
躺在我的爱人，我的爱人，我的生命，我的新娘身边，
In her sepulcher there by the sea---
躺在海边她的坟冢旁
In her tomb by the side of the sea.
守卫着她的这块美丽的墓地。
爱伦坡一生钟爱的女人
神秘的爱伦坡
其实，说爱伦坡是个诗人并不准确，他更因为写恐怖小说而著名。但我却执意要把他首先当作一个诗人来看待，直到今天我也仍然视他为我心中最伟大的诗人，真是没有办法的事情。他的诗，与他同时代的其他人不同，他在诗中抒发的主题，永远不仅仅属于美国本土。他的诗，也永远给人一种使痴迷的怪怪的感觉。他一直关注着“漠视”、“沉默”、“消亡”，总之，他所关注的是那种非物理存在状态的东西。
