What is the tone at the beginning of the poem - the first two stanzas?

It was many and many a year ago,

In a kingdom by the sea,

That a maiden lived, whom you may know

By the name of Annabel Lee;

And this maiden she lived with no other thought

Than to love, and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,

In this kingdom by the sea;

But we loved with a love that was more than love,

I and my Annabel Lee,—

With a love that the wingèd seraphs of heaven

Coveted her and me.

• Endearing (loving)

• Despair (Sadness)

The the last stanza the narrator mentions "And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes." What does he mean by this?

• When the angels took Annabel, they also took all of the stars from the heavens.

• The stars represent her memory and her presence still being with the narrator even though her death does not allow her to physically be present.

• The stars represent his fading love for Annabel. Just as the stars are gone, so is his love for Annabel. The girl he once loved is now fading from his memory.
