My darling dearest sweetheart

Lying in bed I think about you

here where there is no snow 

(I dreamed the snow was you, when there was snow)

Yours is the name the leaves chatter

at the edge of the unrabbited woods.

I loved you first— 

loved with a love that was more than love

Did you ever love me,

 my Annabel Lee?

You called me yours once and I smiled

The day is gone, and all its sweets are gone!

Faded the sight of beauty from my eyes

Faded the shape of beauty from my arms,

 Faded the voice, warmth, whiteness, paradise –

i – still – carry your heart with me (i carry it in

my heart)

i am never without it

My darling dearest sweetheart

Lying in bed I think about you

here where there is no snow
