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,
(10) i and my annabel lee,
with a love that the winged seraphs¹ of heaven
coveted her and me.
and this was the reason that, long ago,
in this kingdom by the sea,
(15) a wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
my beautiful annabel lee;
so that her highborn kinsman came
and bore her away from me,
to shut her up in a sepulchre
