For the love of 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
I 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 serphanes 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 Kinsman came
and bore her away from me
To shut her up in a grave
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 knew 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 niether 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 beautifuo Annabel Lee
And so , all the night-tide , i lie down by the side
Of my darling - my life and my bride
In the grave by the sea
In her tomb by the sounding sea
