In a kingdom by the sea, That a maiden there lived whom you may know by the name of ANNABEL LEE
I was a child she was a child , in this kingdom by the sea; But we love with a love that was more than love- I and my Annabel Lee; With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
So that her highborn kinsman came And bore her away from me
The angels, not half so happy in heaven, went envying 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
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side Of my darling- my darling-my life and my bride, In the sepulchre by the sea, In her tomb by the sounding sea
