annabel lee
by edgar allan poe
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.
(5) 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,
(10) 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,

my beautiful annabel lee,
so that her highborn kinsman came
and bore her away from me,
to shut her up in a sepulchre
