[00:01.84]Annabel Lee
[00:08.00]By－ Edgar Allan Poe
[00:11.11]It was many and many a year ago,
[00:15.32]In a kingdom by the sea,
[00:18.24]That a maiden there lived whom you may know
[00:20.86]By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
[00:23.92]And this maiden she lived with no other thought
[00:26.94]Than to love and be loved by me.
[00:31.28]
[00:32.14]I was a child and she was a child,
[00:34.29]In this kingdom by the sea;
[00:35.96]But we loved with a love that was more than love-
[00:38.97]I and my Annabel Lee;
[00:40.95]With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
[00:43.91]Coveted her and me.
[00:44.85]
[00:46.32]And this was the reason that, long ago,
[00:48.77]In this kingdom by the sea,
[00:50.60]A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
[00:53.60]My beautiful Annabel Lee;
[00:55.20]So that her highborn kinsman came
[00:57.37]And bore her away from me,
[00:59.96]To shut her up in a sepulcher
[01:02.16]In this kingdom by the sea.
[01:03.29]
[01:05.60]The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
[01:09.35]Went envying her and me-
[01:12.33]Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know,
[01:14.85]In this kingdom by the sea)
[01:18.68]That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
[01:23.17]Chilling and killing my beautiful Annabel Lee.
[01:29.68]
[01:30.80]But our love it was stronger by far than the love
[01:33.03]Of those who were older than we-
[01:34.98]Of many far wiser than we-
[01:37.30]And neither the angels in heaven above,
[01:40.48]Nor the demons down under the sea,
[01:43.28]Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
[01:46.68]Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
[01:48.22]
[01:49.04]For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
[01:51.97]Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
[01:53.60]And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
[01:55.75]Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
[02:01.20]And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
[02:06.54]Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride,
[02:11.99]In the sepulchre there by the sea,
[02:16.35]In her tomb by the sounding sea.
