Edgar Allan Poe- Annabel Lee

    

Edgar Allan Poe-  Annabel Lee

 

꽤 오래된 일기장 양쪽의 면에 있었던 <에너벨 리> 시...

처음 이 시를 봤을때 어찌나 멋있던지....

외우기도 했었는데...

 

이번에 Edgar Allan Poe의 단편소설을 읽어볼까 책을 뒤적이다 보니,

오랜만에 이 시가 생각나고..

 

 

 

 

Edgar Allan Poe

 

  Annabel  Lee 

 

It was many and many a year ago,  

 In a kingdom by the sea, 

That a maiden there lived who 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 high-born 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,

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.
