Annabel Lee

Our love it was stronger
Of those who were older than we
Our love it was stronger
Of many far wiser than we
Our love it was stronger
Of those who were older than we
Our love it was stronger
Of many far wiser than we
It was many and many a year ago
In this 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
Well 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 in heaven
Coveted her and me
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
Our love it was stronger
Of those who were older than we
Our love it was stronger
Of many far wiser than we
Our love it was stronger
Of those who were older than we
Our love it was stronger
Of many far wiser than we
And this was the reason that, long ago
In this kingdom by the sea
A wind blew out of a cloudhilling
Chilling my beautiful 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
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 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
