Poe married his 12 year old cousin, and he wrote this poem about her when she came down w/ the disease tuberculosis. So he was devastated and therefore brought his emotions out by writing this poem.

The poem was thought to be written about his wife Virginia but he never stated whether it was or not. But his childhood sweetheart, I can't remember her name right now, said that the poem was about her. This girl was not Virginia his wife. I also heard once that Virginia was his wife's first or middle name but she was also called abigail, which is pretty close to Annabel, don't you think?
