Abstract
The present study delves into the stylistic analysis of the poem, Annabel Lee" penned by Edgar Allan Poe. The study is based on the qualitative method, where the textual verses of the poem were examined to identify the peculiar qualities of the poet's style by analyzing his choice of vocabulary related to different lexical categories. The researcher used Leech and Short's (1981) model to do a stylistic analysis of the given poem at the lexical level. The lexical analysis shows the emotional narration of the tragic death of the poet's beloved. This lexical analysis further showed the choice and use of nouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs by the poet which supports his emotive attitude. The study provides the researchers with a new insight into analyzing the writer's style by doing a stylistic analysis of any literary work.
