It was many and many a year ago,
In ______ kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived ______ you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
______ this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than ______ love and be loved by me.
I was a ______ and she was a child,
In this kingdom by ______ sea,
But we loved with a love that was ______ than love—
I and my Annabel Lee—
With a ______ that the wingèd seraphs of Heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In ______ kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of ______ cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her ______ kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To ______ her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by ______ sea.
The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,
______ envying her and me—
Yes!—that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
______ the wind came out of the cloud by night,
______ and killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love it ______ stronger by far than the love
Of those who ______ older than we—
Of many far wiser than we—
______ neither the angels in Heaven above
Nor the demons ______ under the sea
Can ever dissever my soul from ______ soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
For the moon ______ beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but I feel the ______ eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all ______ night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride,
In her sepulchre there ______ the sea—
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
