Annabel Lee

by Edgar Allan Poe, 1849

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 kinsman 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.

W. H. Auden

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

"Where The Wild Roses Grow"

They call me The Wild Rose

But my name is Elisa Day

Why they call me it I do not know

For my name is Elisa Day

From the first day I ______ (see) her

I _______ (know) she ______ (be) the one
As she _______ (stare) in my eyes and _________ (smile)

For her lips _______ (be) the colour of the roses
That _______ (grow) down the river, all bloody and wild

When he _______ (knock) on my door and ________ (enter) the room
My trembling _________ (subside) in his sure embrace
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
he ______ (wipe) at the tears that _____ (run) down my face

[Chorus]

On the second day I _______ (bring) her a flower
She _____ (be) more beautiful than any woman I'd seen

I _____ (say), "Do you know where the wild roses grow

So sweet and scarlet and free?"

On the second day he _____ (come) with a single red rose

He _____ (say): "Will you give me your loss and your sorrow?"

I _______ (nod) my head, as I ____ (lie) on the bed

"If I show you the roses will you follow?"

[Chorus]

On the third day he _______ (take) me to the river

He _______ (show) me the roses and we ______ (kiss)

And the last thing I ______ (hear) was a muttered word

As he ______ (kneel) above me with a rock in his fist

On the last day I ______ (take) her where the wild roses grow

And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief

As I _______ (kiss) her goodbye, I ______ (say), "All beauty must die"

And lent down and ________ (plant) a rose between her teeth

[Chorus]
