Annabel Lee Marianne Faithfull

It was many and many a year ago
In a a kingdom by the sea
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of annabel lee;
And 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;
With a love that the 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 kinsman 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;
