It was many and many a year ago in a kingdom by the sea
That a maiden lived there 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, she was a child in a kingdom by the sea
And we loved with a love, that was more than a love
I and my Annabel Lee
When the wing seraphs in heaven above, coveted her and me
This was the reason long ago in a kingdom by the sea.
But a wind came out of a cloud chilling my beautiful Annabel Lee
So that her highborn winsmen came and bore her...
Away from me
And the moon never beams whithout bringing me dreams
Of my beautiful Annabel Lee, and the stars never rise
Whithout seeing oh, her bright eyes of my beautiful Annabel Lee
Would you shine for me?
Not half, so happy the angels in heaven, covered her and me
Yes it was the reason long ago in a kingdom by the sea
When the wind came out from a cloud by night, CHILLING AND KILLING
MY ANNABEL LEE, to shut her up in a sepulchre by the sounding sea
But neither the angels in heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea can ever disserved my soul from her soul.
And so all the nightide, lay down by the side, of my darling, my darling, my life, my life and my bride…
To SHUT her up in a sepulchre by the sea. In a sepulchre by the sounding sea...
