Annabel Lee

This is a song from a poem written by Edgar Allan Poe, with music by D. Dilworth.

ANNABEL LEE
(E. Allan Poe D. Dilworth)

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

For 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
I and my Annabel Lee
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me

And this is the reason that long ago
In this kingdom by the sea
A wind blew out of a cloud
Chilling my Annabel Lee
So that her high-born kinsmen came
And bore her away from me
To shut her up in a sepulcher
In this kingdom by the sea

And 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 the cloud by night
Chilling my Annabel Lee
That the wind came out of the cloud by night
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
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

And the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee
And all through the night I lie down by the side
Of my darling, my life and my bride
In her sepulcher there by the sea
In her tomb by the sounding sea
