Prije 205 godina na današnji dan rođen je Edgar Allan Poe , pa da ga se prisjetimo

Annabel Lee

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.

I was a child and she 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, chilling

My beautiful Annabel Lee;

So that her highborn 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 the cloud by night,

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 feel 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 the sepulchre there by the sea,

In her tomb by the sounding sea.

Annabel Lee

Prije mnogo i mnogo godina

u carstvu kraj mora to bi

djeva je živjela koju su zvali imenom

Annabel Lee.

S tek jednom je živjela mišlju

da voli, i da se volimo mi.

Bio sam dijete, i bila je dijete

u carstvu kraj mora to bi

al više nego ljubavlju mi smo se ljubili

ja i Annabel Lee.

I zbog toga nebeski krilati serafi

bili su zavidni

I to je razlog što jednom davno

u carstvu kraj mora to bi,

vjetar se spusti iz oblaka noću

sledivši moju Annabel Lee

I došli su plemeniti rođaci njeni

meni je oteli

da je zatvore u grobnicu tamnu

u tom carstvu što kraj mora bi

Zavidjeli su nam anđeli s neba,

Ni upola sretni ko mi-

Da!To je razlog(kao što znaju

U tom carstvu kraj mora svi)

Što noću je vjetar iz oblaka doš'o i sledio Annabel Lee

Al ljubav nam bila je jača

od ljubavi mnogih

što su stariji bili nek mi,

i mudriji mnogo nek mi,

i niti anđeli gore na nebu,

ni podmorski demoni zli

ne mogu mi razdvojiti dušu

od duše lijepe Annabel Lee

Jer mi ne bljesne mjesec

da sne ne donese o lijepoj Annabel Lee

kada zvijezde se stvore

vidim kako gore tek oči Annabel Lee.

Tako ležim kraj svoje drage,

do zore, svoje drage, drage

života i mlade

u njezinoj grobnici uz more,

u njezinom grobu uz šumorno more.
