ANNABEL LEE & PAST SIMPLE

LET'S IMPROVE OUR PAST SIMPLE with ANNABEL LEE ,a beautiful poem by the American writer Edgar A. Poe

1. It was many and many a year ago,
2. In a kingdom by the sea,
3. That a maiden there lived whom you may know
4. By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
5. And this maiden she lived with no other thought
6. Than to love and be loved by me.
7. I was a child and she was a child,
8. In this kingdom by the sea;
9. But we loved with a love that was more than love-
10. I and my Annabel Lee;
11. With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
12. Coveted her and me.
13. And this was the reason that, long ago,
14. In this kingdom by the sea,
15. A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
16. My beautiful Annabel Lee;
17. So that her highborn kinsman came
18. And bore her away from me,
19. To shut her up in a sepulcher
20. In this kingdom by the sea.
21. The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
22. Went envying her and me-
23. Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know,
24. In this kingdom by the sea)
25. That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
26. Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
27. But our love it was stronger by far than the love
28. Of those who were older than we-
29. Of many far wiser than we-
30. And neither the angels in heaven above,
31. Nor the demons down under the sea,
32. Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
33. Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
34. For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
35. Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
36. And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
37. Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
38. And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
39. Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride,
40. In the sepulcher there by the sea,
41. In her tomb by the sounding sea.
