Question

Annabel Lee
by Edgar Allan Poe

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;



"Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allan Poe

Answer 1

The line that is an example of alliteration is:

“Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.”

Alliteration refers to the repetition of the initial consonant sounds in a series of words, and in this case, the "ch" in "chilling" and "k" in "killing" exemplify that.
