Annabel Lee

It was many and many a year ago
In a kingdom by the sea
That a maiden there lived, whom you may have known
By the name of Annabel Lee
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
We loved with a love that was more than love
I and my Annabel Lee
With a love that winged seraphs in Heaven
Coveted her and me
And this was the reason that, long ago
In this kingdom by the sea
The wind blew out of a cloud by night,
chilling my Annabel Lee
So that her highborn kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulcher
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
The wind came out of a cloud by night
Chilling and killing my beautiful Annabel Lee
But our love was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we,
Of many far 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 my beautiful Annabel Lee
And with the night tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride
In her sepulcher by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea
