Annabel Lee Lyrics

Many a year ago
In a kingdom by the sea
There lived a maiden you may know
By the name of Annabelle Lee
No other thought did trouble her mind
But to love and be loved by me
We were children both
In this kingdom by the sea
But we loved with a love that was more than love
I and my Annabelle Lee
With a love that the winged angels high
Coveted her and me
This was the reason long ago
In this kingdom by the sea
A wind blew from a stormy cloud
That took my Annabelle Lee
Then her wicked brothers came
To steal her away from me

They shut her up in a tomb below
This kingdom by the sea
But no maiden"s grave could sever my soul
From the love she bore for me
For the moon don"t beam without a dream
Of my darling Annabelle Lee
For many years I"ve wandered
Through this kingdom by the sea
I"ve laid myself beside the bones
Of my beautiful Annabelle Lee
I"ll make my bed near the rising tide
In her tomb by the sounding sea
