Annabelle Lee

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It was many 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 And this maiden she lived with no other thoughts Than to love and be loved by me [Verse 2] 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 Lord, I and my Annabelle Lee With a love that the wingèd seraphs of heaven That coveted her and me [Verse 3] So that was the reason that long ago In this kingdom by the sea That a wind blew out of a cloud Chilling my beautiful Annabelle Lee So that her highborn kinsmen came And bore her away from me To shut her in a sepulchre In this kingdom by the sea [Verse 4] It was many 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
