Many and many an year ago
In a kingdom by the sea,
A maiden there lived
By the name of Annabell Lee
She lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me,
In this kingdom by the sea
Her name was Annabell Lee.
All the night — tide,
I lie down her side
Oh my darling — my
Darling — my bride
My life and my bride
All the night — tide
In her sepulchre
There by the sea
In her tomb by the sounding sea
I lie down by her side
All the night — tide
Oh my darling — my
Darling — my bride
Her high-born
Kinsmen came
And bore her away
From me
To shut her up in a
Sepulchre
In this kingdom by
The sea.
Neither the angels
In heaven above,
Nor the demons down
Under the sea,
Can dissever my
Soul from the soul
Of the beautiful
Annabell Lee.
