Question

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 kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

Answer 1

Annabelle and the narrator were supposed to get married and they would rather die than be separated.

I got this right on E 2020 but I think my answer is not right so all ya'll E 2020 kids enjoy.

Answer 2

I'm sorry this was the only one I could find: To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea. The line is telling what the kinsmen were going to do.
