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 that princedom by the sea.
|
But we loved with a love that was
|
more than just love,
|
With a love even the seraphs up in heaven covet.
|
|
And that was the reason that long ago,
|
In that princedom asleep by the sea,
|
That a wind shut her body in a sepulcher,
|
Buried in the sea,
|
That bore my sweet darling away from me.
|
|
Oh, the angels they envied us-envied our love.
|
Yes, that was the reason the wind came out,
|
Stirred the air and made the waves shake madly,
|
Killing my Annabel Lee. Oh my Annabel Lee.
|
|
Our love it was strong. So strong
|
That neither the angels up in heaven
|
Nor the demons in the sea,
|
Can ever dissever my soul from the
|
Soul of my Annabel Lee.
