Title :
Annabele Lee is the name of the lost love.

Paraphrase:
A long time ago in a kingdom by the sea lived Anabel Lee. A woman I loved and a woman who loved me

We were young and we loved each other with a passion that was envied by the heavens

Because we loved each other she became sick and her brother came and took her away form our kingdom by the sea

The Angles themselves killed Annabel Lee for they were jealous of the love she had for me

Our love was stronger and not even the angles could keep us apart

I see her at night in the stars and I lay by her tomb there by the sea

Connotations:
When referring to the  angels he was actually generalizing. He new the angels had not actually killed her but her relatives didn't want them apart. the angels were actually all those that opposed their love.

Attitudes:
This is definitely a tragic love poem. It's a poem about lost love that is gained once again only through death. Death was the only answer and the only way the two lovers could be happy. I love this poem. It's dark yet holds so much passion and love.

Shift:
At the beginning of the poem the poet is upset at his recent lost. He is angered at the jealousy of the angles and how his love was selfishly taken away from him. He begins to fell better toward the middle off the poem and is resolved at the end. He is happy that at least he gets to stay with his love in death.

Title Revised:
The title remains the same. It is just the name of the lost love although at the end we see how tragic her life ended up being.

Theme:
Resignation. It is about love but it's the tragic side of love. It's learning to settle with what you are able to keep of that person who owns your heart even if all that you can keep is their tomb.
