A Song for Annabel 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 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 kinsman 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 the sepulchre there by the sea, In her tomb by the sounding sea. by Edgar Allan Poe Other poems of POE (68) A Dream Within A Dream Alone The Raven See More Comments (484) Sleinez RobedilloYesterday forever my favourite!

I have to say the unique treatment you gave this song is simply stunning. I want to say you remind me of a bard from the 16th century

My favorite rendition so far. Well-done!

Your voice is beautiful it's good edgar is not forgotten poor soul had enough pain in life but now's he's with Lenore and Annabelle lee

I love it! Emma is so talented:) loved it so much💜

Yeah this is by far the best rendition of this song

Beautiful. My favorite poem

I am always more moved by the music itself -- melody and chord and rhythm -- and here, I delight in her turns on lyric as well as note and chord.

This really helped me study and my teacher played this in school and we loved it so much she played it again

3:02 i freaked out because i thought i saw blackthorn eyes lol the song was beautiful ❤

Beautiful. I love this poem by Edgar Allan Poe he's one of my favorites he is my favorite you did a wonderful job singing this

I haven't heard this song in a long while, your guitar playing and singing are beautifully complimentary to each other. Thank you...

Everything about this is perfect. Music, lighting, landscape etc. It is beautiful and haunting. Top notch! Great job guys!

This is as beautiful as the great Annabel Lee herself! I love it! ♥

Beautiful!

I recommend seeing "Annabel Lee" composed by the Spanish group Radio Futura from the album "La canción de Juan Perro"(1987).

Love your voice and how you have transform the poem into a song.

Incredibly beautiful

Brilliant!

Beautiful voice. One more chance at American Idol!

Wonderfull, thank you.

Really lovely!

Edgar Allan Poe would be so happy to see this if he could 🖤🖤🖤

Это ооочень здорово💖

Hermoso!

Die beste Interpretation seit langem Super 👍👍👍👍 Weiter so

I'm late but this is amazing

You know, I felt a weird hint of hatred or anger, or even dark possession lurking in the background when you sing... The same kind that you sense when you're reading Poe's poem Alone. It came from the way that you treated words with music, folk like but not as predictable. Esther perel with me overwhelmed to hear your version I'm sure. It's too bad we have no recording of his voice.

Absolutely gorgeous rendition!! Perfectly captures the mood of the poem. Would it be possible to please share the guitar chords? Thank you for producing and sharing this work.

Would you be willing to send me an MP3 of this song? I find it to be very beautiful. I'm trying to memorize this poem for a play I am auditioning for, and music helps so I don't memorize the inflection of other actors. I've looked up published songs such as Stevie Nicks, but I can't focus on them as well and I don't enjoy them as much. So if you're willing to share, I'd really love that. 🙂 This is an awesome project, I can't believe the talent some people are able to establish independently so early on. This is really great for a school project.

Hey what is the singers name? And does she have any other songs? Beautiful by the way 😍😍

Beautiful what´s her name? Emma...? Very inspired and inspiring!

😢💜🌷

Это я Лейла !!!;)

My name's AnnaBelle Lee white

i love this so much and was wondering if could perform it in a school drama production as we are doing a play on Edgar Allan Poe. Also wondering if you had any sheet music for this song?

😍

Go to Monica Gill and (Sara)gils102, they have their version..both these are nice!

Tech Team loves you

💔💔💔

A very nice effort. One minor thing -- for the next time you record it -- there were two pronunciation issues. The main one was "sepulcher", which is accented on the FIRST syllable. The second, much less important, is "wingèd "which, in this case, is to be pronounced as TWO syllables (indicated by Poe's writing it with the accent).
