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 high-born kinsmen came And bore her away from me, To
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 one 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 lie
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. - Edgar Allan Poe
