I believe Edgar Allen Poe himself would be proud of such a beautiful adaptation in song of his beautiful Annabel Lee.

I always thought the setting of this poem would make an awesome dark fantasy/gothic fiction novel. Tragedy, hideous demons, demented kingdoms, dark oceans, as a writer I'm tempted to make a story like that lol.

Frankly and rice could capture this far better than any other writer, but since that would be too derivative and I'm sure the lady values her originality she probably won't.

+Monica Gil i see but i think Britain English is more elevated and more classy. The British pronunciation is kinder than Us version. But in the end Poe is a American poet and he is ornament of the American literature. You should be proud of having him.

+Monica Gil whoever sings in the video she has a strong musical talent. she should utilize it well. For example finishing music department in a conservatoire.

Not just the best musical version, but one that gets everything right: beautifully sung and interpreted, period correct in the choice of instruments, and an obsessive melody and tempo that best fits the lyric. A memorable result and achievement. As suggested elsewhere, this is the version that would have greatly pleased it's author.

very well said been listening for years completely perfect in every way and the reason annabel Lee is my permanent favorite poem

No; neither one of us has a paypal or anything of the sort. But your support is greatly appreciated! The best compensation for us would be to spread the word about our music. :)

I love it! My life-long nickname is Annabelle, and I recently married a man named Lee. I'm not changing my name legally, but I am going by Annabelle Lee now socially, and for work.

This is the best attempt yet to set the poem to music

It was many and many a year ago In a kingdom by the sea That a maiden lived whom you may know By the name of Annabel Lee This maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me She was a child and I was a child In this kingdom by the sea But we loved with a love that was more than love I and my Annabel Lee With a love that the winged angels of Heaven They coveted her and me And the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams And the sun never shines, but I see the bright eyes I lie down by the side The angels, not half so happy in Heaven Went envying her and me That was the reason, as all men know In this kingdom by the sea That the wind came out of the clouds that night Killing my, my Annabel Lee And the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams And the sun never shines, but I see the bright eyes I lie down by the side But our love was stronger by far than the love Of those who were older than we Many far wiser than we Neither the angels in Heaven above Nor the demons down under the sea Can ever dissever my soul from the soul Of the beautiful Annabel Lee And the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams And the sun never shines, but I see the bright eyes I lie down by the side Ohhh ohh I lie down by the side Of my darling, my life, my life and my bride I lie down, by her side I lie down, by her side My darling, my life, my life and my bride I lie down, by her side I lie down, by her side oohh I lie down, by the side oohh I lie down, by the side Of my darling, my life, my life and my bride I lie down, ohhhh I lie down by the side Of my darling, my life, my life and my bride I lie down by the side Of my darling, my life, my life and my bride I lie down oooooh I lie down lie down By the side

So beautiful and innocent. Tears in my eyes.

this poem is amazing and the voice and piano only make it more amazing

Just throwing it out there, this is one of those songs that wonders in my brain every couple of years. Legitimately, every 3 years my brain is like "Hey, remember that song? Go listen to it for a week or so" hahaha. Thanks for this project.

I absolutely LOVE this arrangement of Annabel Lee!! I had to memorize this for a school project too and I was humming the words with a made-up tune in class one day when my teacher suddenly whipped out this video. I sang it for *days* on end, until my parents we're sick of it. Keep up the beautiful work, darlings!!!

you will be in heaven for this beatiful song

Wow... what a marvelous find. Thank you both, for making this.

You're voice is very beautiful. That's amazing, It almost brings tears to my eyes.

been a fan of this poem for many a year now, loved your musical adaptation :) cheers!

This is always in my top 2 or 3 favourite poems of all time. And this is a lovely treatment of it.

Still haunted by this beautiful composure. Thanks a lot.

I love this!! I’ve listened to it many times & I still find it so beautifully sung & the music is excellent. This is also one of my favorite poems.

Honestly i can say that this one the best version i've ever heard of Annabel Lee poem as the song form.

The best musical interpretation of the poem ever!

This version is my all time favorite of all the song versions of the poem, Annabel Lee! Keep up the great work!

Beyond beautiful. I must have listened to this a dozen times in a row by now.

I can't even express the feelings that stings my soul while I listen to your creation.

i'll never get enough of this incredible singing

This deserves standing applause from the whole world.

I learned the poem some years ago, as I was 23 years old. It's weird: I had nearly the same melody and preposition in my mind as you and never thought somebody could 'melt' it in a song. Thanks. Really.

This is so incredibly beautiful! I could listen to it the whole day. ♥

This incredible ladies! I have often wished people would put music to my favorite writings... Dreams do come true sometimes it seems. ♡ Outstanding!

It was many and many a year ago, In a kingdom by the sea, That a maiden there lived whom you may know By the name of Annabel Lee; And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me. I was a child and she was a child, In this kingdom by the sea, But we loved with a love that was more than love- I and my Annabel Lee- With a love that the wingèd seraphs of Heaven Coveted her and me. And this was the reason that, long ago, In this kingdom by the sea, A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling My beautiful Annabel Lee; So that her highborn kinsmen came And bore her away from me, To shut her up in a sepulchre In this kingdom by the sea. The angels, not half so happy in Heaven, Went envying her and me- Yes!-that was the reason (as all men know, In this kingdom by the sea) That the wind came out of the cloud by night, Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee. But our love it was stronger by far than the love Of those who were older than we- Of many far wiser than we- And neither the angels in Heaven above Nor the demons down under the sea Can ever dissever my soul from the soul Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side Of my darling-my darling-my life and my bride, In her sepulchre there by the sea- In her tomb by the sounding sea.

Years ago I was apart of a all men's choir in my Highschool and we sung this song it was heavenly great times... Sometimes I wonder what happened to my old choir mates, something tells me they are off to a dark path I pray for them. Thanks for releasing this track I needed it.❤

This is such a beautiful way to hear one of my favorite poems. It's helped me a lot in ways I couldn't properly explain. Thank you for making this, you're both very skilled musicians.

oh my god!!!! this is soooo good!!! congratulations to you and your sister!! that's so beautiful, honestly!!!

Annabel Lee is my favorite Edgar Allan Poe poem and you two performed it beautifully. Thank you for sharing.

This is wonderful. I love this poem and this musical version is simply beautiful. Thank you for making this.

I have to say, this is the most lovely and powerful song version of this poem that I have ever see.

What amazing singing. I cannot get my voice to go that high. It sounded very beautiful.

all i can say is wow. i just read the poem and it captivated my attention. however, this voice and the instruments are magnificent. they add an immense amount of beauty to the poem.

Oh God, it's just perfect

I've listened to this enchanting song nearly 20 times today. I am completely entranced by the ethereal melodies and angelic singing. Thank you ladies for creating such a timeless piece of music. I must find a way to save this lyrical poetry to listen to it for years to come. I can envision myself at nearly 80 years old in my rocking chair still entranced by this perfect song. Cheers!

I could never express my admiration for your work. Not only is your/ your sister's voice softly sweepig me off my feet, placing me on the whitest of all clouds, but it furthermore manages to grasp the meaning of one of my favourite poems in a way I could have never imagined. As soon as I have finished studying my pupil will hear this and they will once more understand that poetry is beautiful, filled with emotions and not 'boring'. This is the most amazing musical version of a poem I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. You are amazing!

Oh, this gave me chills! Wonderful work!!

Absolutely gorgeous. Love the melody and the arrangement.

Good lord, this is breath-takingly beautiful. I can't believe this has so few views or favourites! Amazing job on the music, the vocals, the arrangement--wow. Kudos to you and your sister!

this is unexpectedly brilliant,terrific!

Wow! I remember that I discovered this beautiful song in 2013, when I discovered Poe's works. That video had something like 5,000 or 20,000 views and now, almost 10 years later, it has 408,000! It's a good feeling of nostalgia. Congratulations to the sisters.

8 years later and I remember the tune and words- I used this to help me memorize the poem for extra credit in middle school

It's beautiful! Thank you! I love this arrangement.

Beautiful!!! Thank you for this musical take on one of Poe's most moving poems! And thanks for the instrumental version, too!!! Subscribed! :)

whenever I listen to this adaptation I think to myself, what a masterpiece!

This is perfection I know you made Edgar Allen Poe proud!!!!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

This is truly beautiful! Thank you so much

Wow! What a song! What a voice!

I listen to this song every other day while I write. Thank you from San Diego.

We are doing this in class and everyone kept saying "It sounds like a song!". I thought I would search up to see if anyone had done it to music, and this is exactly what I imagined it would sound like!

This is just absolutely beautiful, and totally captures the tone and mood of the poem! I was so glad to find it as I'm teaching my students about tone and mood with this poem. THANK YOU!!

This is an amazing masterpiece, I dare to say. The voice and the instruments are extremely coherent with the environment this amazing dark romanticism stated by Poe, is proposing in this marvelous poem. I Thank you for sharing such an amazing piece of art. Hope so continue listening from you and your sister. Keep doing such great things on youtube!

Ein wundervolles Arrangement an klingender, feingliedriger Stimme, Klavier und Geige.💕

This is wonderfully melancholic and sweet, thank you.

This is what my husband read to me soon after I met him at 17 & I am so glad you set it to music! Than You! T!

This is an enjoyable performance. I love Poe. Thank you for this.

I still listen to this till now

I love this so much! I love this poem so much and this song is beautiful and perfect!
