I do not own the image used in this video, nor do I own the lyrics.
SO. I decided to take Edgar Allen Poe's beautiful poem, 'Annabel Lee', and give it some music! (A 10-point lit project gone overboard, I must admit...) Vocals and violin were done by my sister (gils102), and I did the piano and guitar.
ALSO, below are the chords and lyrics, since someone asked. Want to make a cover? Please go right ahead! Just make sure to credit both me AND my sister (gils102) for our arrangement! (And, of course, don't forget dear Mr. Poe ^_^)

An instrumental/karaoke version is also available on my channel:

Enjoy!
And feel free to comment, compliment, and/or critique! :)
CHORDS:
[intro]
Bm F# B F#
It was (Bm) many and many a year ago, in a (F#) kingdom by the sea
That a (Bm) maiden there lived whom you may know by the (F#) name of Annabel Lee
And this (A) maiden she lived with no other thought
(G) than to love (F#) and be loved by me (Bm) (F#).
(Bm) I was a child and she was a child in this (F#) kingdom by the sea
But we (Bm) loved with a love that was more than love, (F#) I and my Annabel Lee
With a (A) love that the winged seraphs of heaven (G) coveted (F#) her and me (Bm)(F#).
And (Bm) this was the reason that, long ago, in this (F#) kingdom by the sea,
A (A) wind blew out of a cloud, chilling my (G) beautiful Annabel (F#) Lee
So (Bm) that her highborn kinsmen came and (F#) bore her away from me
To (A) shut her up in a sepulcher (G) in this kingdom (F#) by the sea (Bm)(F#).
The (Bm) angels, not half so happy in heaven, went (F#) envying her and me
Yes, and (Bm) that was the reason, as all men know in this (F#) kingdom by the sea,
That the (A) wind came out of a cloud by night,
(G) chilling and (F#) killing my Annabel (Bm) Lee (F#).
But our (Bm) love it was stronger by far than the love of (F#) those who were older than we
Of (G) many far wiser than (F#) we
And (Bm) neither the angels in heaven above, nor the (F#) demons down under the sea,
Can (A) ever dissever my soul from the soul of the (G) beautiful (F#) Annabel (Bm) Lee (F#).
[Octave Up]
For the (Bm) moon never beams without bringing me dreams of the (F#) beautiful Annabel Lee
And the (A) stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes of the (G) beautiful Annabel (F#) Lee
And so (Bm) all the night tide I lie down by the side of my (F#) darling - my darling - my life and my bride
In the (A) sepulcher there by the sea, in her (G) tomb by the (F#) sounding (Bm) sea (F#).
[Octave Down]
