annabel lee

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

with 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
