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 Annabel Lee
So that her high born kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulcher
In this kingdom by the sea.

And 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 my Annabel Lee
That the wind came out
Of the cloud by night
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
Of many far wiser than we
And neither the angels
In heaven above
Nor the the demons
Down under the sea,
Can ever dissever
My soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee

And 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 all through the night tide,
I lie down by the side
Of my darling my life and my bride,
In the sepulcher there by the sea
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
