Many a year ago In a kingdom by the sea There lived a maiden you may know By the name of Annabelle Lee No other thought did trouble her mind But to love and be loved by me We were children both In this kingdom by the sea But we loved with a love that was more than love I and my Annabelle Lee With a love that the winged angels high Coveted her and me This was the reason long ago In this kingdom by the sea A wind blew from a stormy cloud That took my Annabelle Lee Then her wicked brothers came To steal her away from me They shut her up in a tomb below This kingdom by the sea But no maiden's grave could sever my soul From the love she bore for me For the moon don't beam without a dream Of my darling Annabelle Lee For many years I've wandered Through this kingdom by the sea I've laid myself beside the bones Of my beautiful Annabelle Lee I'll make my bed near the rising tide In her tomb by the sounding sea

Truly gorgeous work. The name in Poe's poem is spelled differently, though. "Annabel Lee."

[@davidjohnson6961]

Mary Lindsey ... THANKS so much!!! You really are too kind. ☺️ Sarah Jarosz spelled it that way, so I followed suit. The POE original is AWESOME as well, though!

[@MaryLindsey102]

It certainly is. Again, well done on the video.

[@luluisasimpforaloisimaweeb9070]

I just watched this is my English class today and you are underrated

[@davidjohnson6961]

Thanks so very much!!!

[@TomMcMorrow]

First, this is my absolute favorite song from Ms. Jarosz. It's macabre, it's got pep, and it's kind of like what I expect My Chemical Romance to sound like if they played bluegrass. Second, I really enjoyed your representation of the song. While not explicitly shown, I've always felt it serves as a metaphor for mental illness. The "winds blew from a story cloud that took my Annabelle Lee" make me think of someone so overcome with the black clouds of depression they take them away from their loved ones. "And her wicked brothers came to steal her away from me" reminds me that often depression comes with the 'brothers' of anxiety and suicidal thoughts. The possession scene where Annabelle seems compelled to throw herself off the cliff are an excellent metaphor. Perhaps not what the artist (you) originally intended be taken away from this masterpiece of a video, but I hope not something that is found in poor taste, either.

[@davidjohnson6961]

She's amazing and I agree that this is a sterling setting for the poem. Your theory is SUPER interesting! I can totally see it!

[@garbagecan13]

Well, this is a nice interpretation but the poem is actually about his wife dying to TB I believe but It is cool how she made it into the song...

[@garbagecan13]

But I think you did a dope job with the video itself VERY cool

"Annabel Lee" and "The Raven" were both written by Mathew Franklin Whittier, younger brother of poet John Greenleaf Whittier, and falsely claimed in a sort of 19th-century identity theft by Edgar Allan Poe. My paper, "Evidence that Edgar Allan Poe Stole 'The Raven' from Mathew Franklin Whittier" explains. It is downloadable at the following link. It can also be found by searching on the title on Academia.edu. www.ial.goldthread.com/MFW_The_Raven.pdf

[@RabbiT-qh8pd]

@@davidjohnson6961 FYI, I discovered this video because I am working on a performance of early Israeli culture, and in my grandmother's notebooks I found a Hebrew translation of Anabelle Lee, written by someone who'd later be an important statesman, and which preserves the rhythm and cadence of the English. Then I started youtubing various Hebrew settings of it, which then had me stumble onto yours, which is amazing because I love Jarosz and because your animation is fantastic. Ahh, the internet.

[@davidjohnson6961]

@@RabbiT-qh8pd Right on, brother! I LOVE that story! What an amazing find to begin with -- the Hebrew translation with both rhyme and cadence! Then, I appreciate the kudos. Sarah Jarosz is the definition of pure talent in my eyes, too. I saw her speak at a songwriters performance / Q&A deal at the Old Settlers Music Fest last year in a room with probably under 50 people. I was so struck that her humility was as prodigious as her talent. Anyway... Thanks for the props and be well!

There a legend about the origin of this story Poe attended the cididale a military college in Charleston South Carolina he dropped about beocse he stared drinking and gambling we know this to be fact but there a legends that Poe meet and fell in love with a plantation owners her father finding out about the relationship not wanting his daughter to marry a working class Yankee sent her away from Charleston to the family plantain or to another city to break up the relationship were there was a small pox/ yellow fever out break she got sick died to out break never made to Charleston because mosquitos can’t lay egg in salt water Charleston had salt marshes on 3 sides and the ocean on the other so that why incredibly wealthy plantain owners would spend summers Charleston to avoid the yellow fever if you ever been to Charleston South Carolina it very much a kingdom by the sea and to see when cotton made it one of the wealthiest part of the country you can see at some inspiration
