Isn't it funny?


Isn't it funny how sometimes you can forget what you had for dinner last night, but remember a poem that you memorized for a class eighteen years ago.

Annabelle Lee
by Edgar Allen Poe
(well at least the first two stanzas)

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 an 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 wingd seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.
