Edgar Allen Poe

Annabel Lee:

If this doesn't make you feel all fuzzy inside, i dunno what will. Here goes.

It was many and many a year ago
In a kingdom by the sea
That a maiden there liver whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived will no other thought
Than to loved 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-
With a love that winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her high - born kinsmen came
And bore her away from me
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea

The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me
-Yes! - that was the reason as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we
-of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of my beautiful Annabel Lee;

For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee,
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

And so, all the night -tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling- my darling -my life and my bride
In the sepulchre there by the sea
In her tomb by the sounding sea

-Edgar Allen Poe
1845
