Edgar Allan Poe: Annabel Lee (read by Basil Rathbone)

Details

Description

The last complete poem written by Poe, it was published shortly after his death in 1849. The speaker of the poem talks about a lost love, Annabel Lee, and may have been based on Poe's own relationship with his wife Virginia, though that is disputed.
