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 highborn kinsmen came   And bore her away from me, T
o 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 Annabel Lee.  But our love it 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 the beautiful Annabel Lee: And so, all the night-tide, I lay down by the side Of my darling--my darling--my life and my bride,   In the sepulchre there by the sea--   In her tomb by the sounding sea.
