The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,

Question

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.

Answer 1

The line that contains caesura is:

“The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,”

Caesura is a pause or break within a line of poetry, often marked by punctuation. In this line, the comma creates a pause after "angels" which exemplifies caesura.
