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 |
|
Oh, we were so young, younger than the breeze |
|
Children of the wide and wild sea |
|
But we loved with a love that was more than love |
|
I and Annabel Lee |
|
With a love that each creature in Heaven or Hell |
|
Went envyin' my pretty girl and me |
|
Oh please have mercy, wi th the human fate |
|
We're much too young, for the deathman's blade |
|
But a chill wind blew and took her right away |
|
And through my tears I had to see |
|
That she was gone |
|
Taken all away from me |
|
And the moon never beams without bringin' me dreams |
|
Of my beloved girl |
|
And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes |
|
Of my dear and faithful Annabel Lee |
