34th o’ February

It was many many years ago
in the kingdom by the sea
that a maiden lived who you may know
her name was ANNABEL LEE
This maiden she lived with no other thought
than to love and be loved by me

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
So great was our love that heaven above
coveted her and me

And this was the reason that long ago
in this kingdom by the sea
a wind blew out of the cold and froze
my dear sweet ANNABEL LEE
so that those of her noble birth came by
and took her away from me
to shut her up in a grave so high
in this kingdom by the sea

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
of those older and wiser than we
and neither the angels in heaven above
nor the demons deep in the sea
could ever sever my soul from the soul
of the beautiful ANNABEL LEE

For no moon ever beams without bringing me dreams
of the beautiful ANNABEL LEE
and no star can rise but i see the eyes
of my lovely ANNABEL LEE
and so at this night tide i lay down at her side
in her tomb by the sounding sea
