Annabel Lee

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
I was a child and she was a child in this Kingdom by the 
sea
But we loved with a love that was more than love I and my 
Annabel Lee
With a love that the winged seraphs of Heaven coveted her 
and me
And this was the reason that long ago in this Kingdom by 
the sea
A wind blew out of a cloud chilling my beautiful Annabel 
Lee
So that her high-born kinsmen came and bore her away from 
me
To shut her up in a sepulchre in this kingdom by the sea
The angels not half so happy in heaven went envying her and
 me
Yes that was the reason as all men know in this kingdom by 
the sea
That the wind came out of the cloud by night
Chilling and killing my beautiful Annabel Lee
But our love it was stronger by far than the love of those 
who were older than we
Of many who were wiser than we
And neither the angels in Heaven above nor the demons down 
under the sea
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul of the beautiful 
Annabel Lee
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams of the 
beautiful Annabel Lee
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes of the 
beautiful Anabel Lee
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 (Anabel Lee)
