Question

Read the excerpt from "Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allan Poe.

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.
How does the rhythm of the excerpt support the theme of the poem?

Mark this and return
Save and Exit
