"It was many and many a year ago,

  In a kingdom by the sea,

That a maiden there 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." "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."

I choose this poem because it did mention the sea. It didn't have to do exactly with the sea though. This is one of my all time favorite poems, and every time I read it I always feel sad. He (the narrator) buried her right next to the sea. I feel like even though the poem isn't quite about the sea itself, the sea plays a big role in the poem because its mentioned so many times. If you read the whole poem by Edger Allen Poe, you notice that "sea" is mentioned in every stanza.
