Annabel Lee

Many, many years ago
In a kingdom by the sea
There lived a maiden
Whose name was Annabel Lee
That flower grew
Thinking of nothing else
But to love and be loved
To be loved by me
We were just two children
So great was our love
That the angels in heaven
Were envious of us
For they were not as happy
Not even half
As everyone knows
In that kingdom by the sea

So a wind came out
From a dark cloud that night
To chill the heart
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee
Then her highborn kinsmen
Came and bore her away
To shut her up
In a sepulcher
In that kingdom by the sea

The moon never beams
Without bringing me dreams
And the stars never rise
But I feel the bright eyes
And so all the night-tide
I lie down by the side
Of my darling, my darling
My life and my bride

Our love was stronger
Than the love of those who are older
Who know more than we do
Of the things of life
Neither the angels in heaven
Nor the demons down under the sea
Can ever dissever
My soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee

The moon never beams
Without bringing me dreams
And the stars never rise
But I feel the bright eyes
And so all the night-tide
I lie down by the side
Of my darling, my darling
My life and my bride

And in her tomb by the sounding sea
In her tomb by the side of the sea
