Edgar Allan Poe's love debuts; Annebel Lee

Annabel Lee:

It was many and many years ago, 

In 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 Annebel Lee;

So that her highborn kinsman came

And bore her away from me,

To shut her up in a sepulchre 

In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not 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 Annebel Lee.

But our love 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 the beautiful Annebel Lee; 

For the moon never beams, without 

bringing me dreams 

Of the beautiful Annebel Lee; 

And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes

Of the beautiful Annebel Lee; 

And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side

Of my darling - my darling - my life and my bride,

In her sepulchre there by the sea - 

In her tomb by the sounding sea.

Another rendition of Annebel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe:

To the queen of angels

To shield me from harm

And I lie so composedly, 

Now, in my bed,

(Knowing her love)

That you fancy me dead - 

And I rest so contentedly, 

Now, in my bed,

(With her love at my breast)

That you fancy me dead - 

That you shudder to look at me, 

Thinking me dead

But my heart is brighter

Than all of the many

Stars of the sky,

For it sparkles with Annie - 

It glows with the light

Of the love of my Annie -

With the thought of the light

Of the eyes of my Annie.
