New York: 24 Jan 2023: "It was many and many
a year 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 wingèd
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 highborn 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 the 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 her sepulchre there
by the sea,
in her tomb by the sounding
sea."
