It was many years ago, by the sounding sea

There lived a maiden known as Annabel Lee

And she fell in love with the mariner

What he said lingers in her memory

She heard him say



Long ago in the kingdom by the sounding sea



For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams

Of the beautiful, beautiful Annabel Lee

And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes

Of the beautiful, beautiful Annabel Lee



And the Chosen One sailed away on the sounding sea

Leaving behind the Darling Annabel Lee

Every night I sing his words before the sea

For I am what is left from Annabel

Annabel Lee



Long ago in the kingdom by the sounding sea



For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams

Of the beautiful, beautiful Annabel Lee

And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes

Of the beautiful, beautiful Annabel Lee



And so at the night tide

I lie down by the sea

Where my Darling, my Darling set my soul aside

In my sepulchre there by the sea

In my tomb by the sounding sea
