The second stanza reinforces the information given to us in the first, and then describes the love between
Annabel 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 and the narrator is one so great and special that the
highest of angles would desire it.
