Many and many a year ago
   in a kingdom by the sea,
   a maiden there lived
   by the name of annabell lee.
  
   she lived with no other thought
   than to love and be loved by me,
   in this kingdom by the sea
   her name was annabell lee.
  
   all the night - tide,
   I lie down her side
   oh my darling - my darling - my bride
   my life and my bride
   all the night - tide
  
   in her sepulchre there by the sea
   in her tomb by the sounding sea
   I lie down by her side
   all the night - tide
   oh my darling my darling - my bride
  
   her high-born kinsmen came
   and bore her away from me
   to shut her up in a sepulchre
   in this kingdom by the sea.
  
   neither the angels in heaven above,
   nor the demons down under the sea,
   can dissever my soul from the soul
   of the beautiful annabell lee.
