Annabelle 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 highborn kinsmen came

And bore her away from me

To shut her up in a sepulchre

In this kingdom by the sea

My beautiful Annabel Lee

My beautiful Annabel Lee

But 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 Annabel 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

My beautiful Annabel Lee

My beautiful Annabel Lee
