A Liverpool shipping review places the

ANNABEL LEE

1t was many and many year ago
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may
BY the name of Annabel Lee;
And TINS this maiden she lived with no other
Tnan to love and be loved by me.
l was child and she was child.
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more
than love,
| and my Annabel Lee;
With, love that the winged seraphs Of
Coveted her and me-
And this was the reason that. long ago,
In this Kingdom by the sea-
wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful AnDabel Lee;
SO that her high-bOrn kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
n this kingdom by the sea
The angels. not half so happy in heaven
Went enyying her and me:
Yesi-that was the reason (as all men know
In this kingdom by the seal
That the wind came out of the cloud by
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love it was stronger by far than
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 discover my soul from the soul
OF the beautiful Anpabel Lee.
For the moon never beams without bringing
me dreams
OF the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but ! feel the
bright eyes
OF the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And So all the r.ighttid | lie down By the
side
OF my darling-my daring-my life and my
bride,
In her sepulcher there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
