Annabel Lee Lyrics

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived to you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And the maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
Annabel Lee...
She was a child and I was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love,
Me and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coverted her and me.
Annabel Lee...

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud by night,
Chilling my Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
Annabel Lee...
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 blew out of the cloud,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee...

But our love that was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we.
Yes, our love that was stronger by far than the love
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...
Annabel Lee...
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling, my bride.
Down in the sepulchre out there,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
Annabel Lee...
