Summary:
Long ago, "in a kingdom by the sea," lived Annabel Lee, who loved the narrator. Both she and the narrator were children but knew love more powerful than that of the angels, who envied them.

The narrator is reminded of Annabel Lee by everything, including the moon and the stars, and at night, he lies by her tomb by the sea.

Poe's Poetry Summary and Analysis of "The City in the Sea"
Death rules in a lonely city in the far West, where the buildings are unfamiliar and everything has come to rest beside melancholy waters.
