It was many and many a year ago, ok[i<zl;'
In a kingdom by the sea, *hx
That a maiden there lived whom you may know j.Hf/vi`z
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;-- .8R@2c`}Cs
And this maiden she lived with no other thought d$RIS+V
Than to love and be loved by me. osRy e3
She was a child and I was a child, w(/S?d
In this kingdom by the sea, +TJCLZ..
But we loved with a love that was more than love-- eavV?\uV%
I and my Annabel Lee--

With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven zda 3

Coveted her and me. |=w@H]r

And this was the reason that, long ago, =&]L00u.
In this kingdom by the sea, 7r!x1
A wind blew out of a cloud by night @- xjfC\d
Chilling my Annabel Lee; Wri<h:1
So that her high-born kinsman came s*[bFJwN
And bore her away from me, )UR7i8]!0
To shut her up in a sepulchre pkzaNY/q
In this kingdom by the sea. %;_MGa

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven, ZH8,KY"
Went envying her and me:-- :]KAkhFkbb
Yes! that was the reason (as all men know, &HW9Jn
In this kingdom by the sea) |N2#ItBbW
That the wind came out of a cloud, chilling fl(wV.Je|
And killing my Annabel Lee. +R &gqja

But our love it was stronger by far than the love vt

And neither the angels in Heaven above, vgPCQO([
Nor the demons down under the sea, w}KkvP^
