Annabel Lee

by Edgar. Allan Poe recorded for librivox. org

00:05

It was many and many a year ago in the Kingdom by the sea, that a maiden lived whom you may know by the name of

Annabel Lee

00:13

And this maiden she lived with no other thought than to love and be loved by me.

00:18

Annabel Lee
