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. [Edgar Allan Poe]
