Which lines in the poem show how deeply the speaker feels the loss of Annabel Lee?

Annabel Lee

by Edgar Allan Poe


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 kinsmen 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,

Verified Answer :

Nor the demons down under the sea

Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
