Annabel Lee
Oleh: Edgar Allan Poe
It was many and many a year ago,<br>
In a kingdom by the sea,<br>
That a maiden there lived whom you may know<br>
By the name of Annabel Lee;<br>
And this maiden she lived with no other thought<br>
Than to love and be loved by me.<br>
<br>
I was a child and she was a child,<br>
In this kingdom by the sea,<br>
But we loved with a love that was more than love—<br>
I and my Annabel Lee—<br>
With a love that the wingèd seraphs of Heaven<br>
Coveted her and me.<br>
<br>
And this was the reason that, long ago,<br>
In this kingdom by the sea,<br>
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling<br>
My beautiful Annabel Lee;<br>
So that her highborn kinsmen came<br>
And bore her away from me,<br>
To shut her up in a sepulchre<br>
In this kingdom by the sea.
