Annabel Lee

by Edgar Allan Poe

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 her sepulchre there by the sea—

In her tomb by the sounding sea.

"Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allan Poe

The pairs of words that are examples of internal rhyme in Edgar Allan Poe's "Annabel Lee" are:

  1. beams, dreams
  2. side, bride

Internal rhyme occurs when a word inside a line rhymes with another word in the same line. In this poem, both "beams" and "dreams" as well as "side" and "bride" illustrate this.
