My dear Edgar, where have I gone,

From our kingdom by the sea?

What was always you and I 

Has become only me. 

The chill of the air,

And the salt of the sea,

Has enveloped your dear Annabel Lee

I can barely see you through this haze

Through the mist, I long for your gaze

What is this stone that obstructs thee

From your loving Annabel Lee?

Agast! What are these letters in reverse inscribed?

Dates from which I was born and died?

Oh, my Edgar, I now see that I am gone

While you at my tombstone lie upon.

I can hear you recite of me your Annabel Lee

Knowing now why you have written this for me

I can no longer bear your sorrow in our kingdom by the sea

My darling Edgar, with love, farewell to thee.
