Read the excerpt from “To One in Paradise,” by Edgar Allan Poe.

And all my days are trances,
And all my nightly dreams
Are where thy grey eye glances,
And where thy footstep gleams-
In what ethereal dances,
By what eternal streams.
How are the ideas in the excerpt similar to Poe’s ideas in the final stanza of "Annabel Lee"?
A.Both suggest that love endures after death.
B.Both describe the haunting power of dreams.
C.Both present beautiful images of nature.
D.Both claim that night is superior to day.

I think the answer is (A. Both suggest that love endures after death.). I'm not entirely certain though, but I hope this helps!

The answer is: A.Both suggest that love endures after death.

Both poems suggest that the love endures after dead, in the last stanza of “Annabel Lee” Poe is describing how Annable’s lover is laying there besides here when she is gone and in “To One In Paradise” it is relating the lost a dear friend and lover, and also in the last stanza he is describing how he can find some peace in his dreams after she is gone.
