- 0:02Speaker 1: It was many and many a year ago, in a
- 0:05Speaker 1: kingdom by the sea, that a maiden lived, whom you
- 0:09Speaker 1: may know by the name of annabel Lee. And this
- 0:13Speaker 1: maiden she lived with no other thought than to love
- 0:18Speaker 1: and be loved by me. I was a child, and
- 0:23Speaker 1: she was a child in this kingdom by the sea.
- 0:26Speaker 1: But we loved with a love that was more than love,
- 0:31Speaker 1: I and my Annabelle Lee, with a love that the
- 0:35Speaker 1: winged seraphs of heaven coveted her and me. And this
- 0:41Speaker 1: was the reason that long ago, in this kingdom by

- 1:36Speaker 1: in heaven above nor the demons down under the sea,
- 1:40Speaker 1: can ever dissever my soul from the soul of the
- 1:45Speaker 1: beautiful Annabelle Lee. For the moon never beams without bringing
- 1:52Speaker 1: me dreams of the beautiful Annabelle Lee, and the stars
- 1:57Speaker 1: never rise, but I see the pride eyes of the
- 2:01Speaker 1: beautiful Annabelle Lee. And so all the night tide I
- 2:08Speaker 1: lie down by the side of my darling, my darling,
- 2:13Speaker 1: my life, and my bride in her sepulcher there by
- 2:18Speaker 1: the sea, in her tomb, by the side of the sea,
