The second stanza reinforces the
information given to us in the first, and then
describes the love between Annabel
Lee and the narrator. The first line tells us
that they have been in love since
they were children. He describes the love as
“a love that was more than love”(line
9). He than says the love was “a love that
the winged seraphs of heaven /
coveted her and me” (lines 11&12). Seraphs are
angles who are of the highest class.
Poe is saying that the love between Annabel
Lee and the narrator is one so
great and special that the highest of angles would
desire it.
