Welcome back strangers. It was many and many a year ago in a kingdom by the sea that have made and lived there whom you may know by the name of Annabelle 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 Annabelle Lee. With a love that the winged serifs of heaven coveted her in me. And this was the reason that long ago and this kingdom by the sea, a wind blew out of a cloud, chilling in my beautiful Annabelle Lee. So that her highborn Kinsman came and bore her away from me to shut her up in a sepulcher in this kingdom by the sea. The angels not have so happy in heaven when envying her in 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 Annabelle 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 disovert my soul from the soul of the beautiful Annabelle Lee. For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams of the beautiful Annabelle Lee. And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes of the beautiful Annabelle Lee. And so all the night tied, I lie down by the side of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride in the sepulcher there by the sea, in her tomb by the sounding sea.
