Annabel Lee - Edgar Allan Poe

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 Annabel 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 Annabel 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 Annabel Lee;

So that her highborn kinsmen came

And bore her away from me,

To shut her up in a sepulchre

In this kingdom by the sea.


The angels, not half so happy in heaven,

Went envying her and me —

Yes! — that was the reason (as all men know,

In this kingdom by the sea)

That the wind came out of the cloud by night,

Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.


But our love it was stronger by far than the love

Of those who were older than we —

Of many far wiser than we —

And neither the angels in heaven above,

Nor the demons down under the sea,

Can ever dissever my soul from the soul

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee:


For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

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

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side

Of my darling — my darling — my life and my bride,

In her sepulchre there by the sea,

In her tomb by the sounding sea

im not much of a writer.
i can rarely keep a journal.
i've never really been able to write my thoughts down.
theres just way too much happening in my mind for me to be able to put into words. but ironically i've decided to start a blog.
dont ask me why, dont ask me if i'll even keep it up.
i might do this until i get bored or i might be so faithful to it, it kills me.
but for now we'll just say that i'll try.
i'm not sure how i'll use this.
maybe i'll just put random pictures up or maybe i'll just try and put down my thoughts.
who knows if it'll be about fashion and makeup or just about my everyday life.
whatever its about its mainly just for me.
if someone wants to read it than they're welcome to, and if no one but me ever reads this than thats perfectly fine too.
i guess for now thats all i have to say.
i'll just sign off now and i'll see you when i see you :)
