Annabel+Lee+Text

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 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 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; <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;">So that her highborn kinsman came <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;">And bore her away from me, <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;">To shut her up in a sepulchre <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;">In this kingdom by the sea.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;">The angels, not half so happy in heaven, <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;">Went envying her and me- <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;">Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know, <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;">In this kingdom by the sea) <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;">That the wind came out of the cloud by night, <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;">Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;">But our love it was stronger by far than the love <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;">Of those who were older than we- <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;">Of many far wiser than we- <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;">And neither the angels in heaven above, <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;">Nor the demons down under the sea, <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;">Can ever dissever my soul from the soul <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;">Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;">For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;">Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;">And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;">Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;">And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;">Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride, <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;">In the sepulchre there by the sea, <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; text-align: center;">In her tomb by the sounding sea.
