ANNABEL LEE - A LOVE STORY By Edgar Allan Poe

Apart from mystery and horror stories, the American writer Edgar Allan Poe was also a magnificent poet. One of his best and famous poems is this one dedicated to the love of his life, her young wife Virginia Clemm. They got married although Virginia's family didn't accept this marriage because she was too young. Soon, Virginia died from tuberculosis and it is said that Edgar A. Poe spent nights beside her sepulchre in the cemetery. This poem, Annabel Lee is possibly inspired in his own life. He gave his wife the name of Annabel Lee.

Our students Rosana and Beatriz (4º ESO) read the poem both in English and Spanish for the last Book Week. They did so fine that they are repeating the poem with the help of other four 3º ESO students (Celia, Mª José, Sharon and Patricia) in the Special Poetry Festival we are doing in the Casa de la Cultura in Santa Amalia on June 14th from 8'00 in the evening. In this Festival we'll be collecting money for the Old People's Home in Santa Amalia.

Here you are a video with the poem recited in English and the video made by the Spanish rock band Radio Futura translating the song into Spanish.
