annabel lee

by edgar allan poe
(1849)

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.

she was a child and i 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 by night
chilling my annabel lee;
so that her high-born kinsman came
and bore her away from me,
to shut her up in a sepulchre
in this kingdom by the sea.
the angels, not half so happy in heaven,
went envying her and me:--
yes! that was the reason (as all men know,
in this kingdom by the sea)
that the wind came out of a cloud, chilling
and killing my annabel lee.

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:--

for the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
of the beautiful annabel lee;
and the stars never rise but i see the bright eyes
of the beautiful annabel lee;
and so, all the night-tide, i lie down by the side
of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride,
in her sepulchre there by the sea--
in her tomb by the side of the sea.
