I know of a kingdom

Down by the sea

I saw a poem

Etched in the rock

About the lovely Annabel Lee


I’ve never loved with a love more than love

No angels envied me

My young heart has yet

To endure a crush

I am NOT Annabel Lee


I wish I knew of a man

Who would daydream innocently

Of a whispered secret

A stolen kiss

His own secret Annabel Lee


I ache for more than a crush

I want someone to notice me

I want my soul mate

To gaze upon my face

I want to be his Annabel Lee


A simple girl, I am

The third child of three

Even in death

Her life outshines mine

The beautiful Annabel Lee


With a chill and a sigh, we both fade

Her to a poetic death

And me to travel to the sea

To hopefully find my ancestor’s tomb

The tomb of Annabel Lee
