One example of irony in "Annabel Lee" is the speaker's claim that their love is so strong that "the winged seraphs of Heaven coveted her and me," implying that their love was envied by angels. However, this is ironic because their love is ultimately thwarted by external forces (envy from the sepulchre's inhabitants and the sea). This contradiction enhances the tragic nature of the poem.
