Songtext von Annabelle Lee

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 Annabelle 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 Annabelle Lee With a love that the winged 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 Annabelle Lee So that her highborn kinsman came And bore her away from me To shut her up in a sepulcher In this kingdom by the sea 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 Annabelle Lee
