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 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 fie 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 sua, A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling My beautiful Annabel Lee; So that high-born kinsman 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 happen in heaven, Went envying her and me; Yes! that was the reason (as all men know, " In this kingdom by the soa) . That the wind came out of the cloud by night Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee. But our love it was stronger by far than 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 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 the sepulcher there by the sea, In her tomb by the sounding sea.
