Annabelle Lee Lyrics

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 Annabelle LeeAnd 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 seaBut we loved with a love that was more than love
I and my Annabelle Lee
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and meAnd this was the reason that, long ago
In this kingdom by the sea
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabelle LeeSo that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me
To shut her up in a sepulcher
In this kingdom by the seaIt 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 Annabelle Lee
