Annabel Lee
Annabel Lee is a poem written with Poe' past not far behind him. Poe's childhood was filled with the death of almost every women, he loved. In most of his poem, a woman, represents love and beauty, dies and come back in some sense. In Annabel Lee, Poe's love is lost and then reincarnated into the things of the night. Showing losing something might come back to you in anther form. I think as many times as you read it, Annabel Lee, will always come to you in a different way, and change you in a different way, either we know it or not.
