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 winged 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 kinsman 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.
安娜贝尔·丽
在很多很多年以前,
在一个海边的王国里,
那儿居住着一个少女,你也许知道,
她的名字叫安娜贝尔·丽;
这个女孩活着只是为了爱我,被我爱,
除此之外再也没有其它目的。
--------------------------------
我是一个孩子她也是个孩子,
在这海边的王国里;
可是我们深深爱着,爱得超过了爱情——
我和我的安娜贝尔·丽;
就连那在天堂最高处飞翔的六翼天使,
也对她和我的爱羡慕不已。
--------------------------------
这就是那事情的起因,从前,
在这海边的王国里,
乌云中突然吹来一阵狂风,冻僵了
我美丽的安娜贝尔·丽;
她那出身高贵的男亲戚也来到,
愤怒地把她在我身边夺去,
然后他把她关进了那墓穴,
在这海边的王国里。
--------------------------------
那些天使,在天堂一点也不幸福,
他们在把她和我妒嫉——
是的!这就是那原因
(在这海边的王国人所共知,)
就这样,在那夜晚的云朵中吹来了冷风,
把我的安娜贝尔·丽活活冻死。
--------------------------------
可是就算现在,我们的爱也要远比
那些比我们年老的人,比我们聪明的人
所拥有的爱更有力——
那些天空上面的天使,
还有那些大海下面的魔鬼,
都不能分开我的和她的灵魂,
我和美丽的安娜贝尔·丽。
--------------------------------
只要月亮发光,我就能
梦见我美丽的安娜贝尔·丽;
就算繁星不再升起,她明亮的眼睛
也依然和我在一起;
就这样,在整个的夜晚,我躺在
我亲爱的,亲爱的,一生的新娘身边,
在那疯狂咆哮的大海旁,
在她安宁睡着的坟墓里。
这是一首悼念爱人的挽歌,以“永恒的爱”作为主题。诗中叙事者和安娜贝尔·丽的爱情是如此炽烈而美好,以至于天上的六翼天使( seraph)都心生嫉妒,并试图破坏他们的爱情。尽管安娜贝尔死去了,但他们的爱情确是永恒的,因为肉体可灭,而灵魂却永远在一起。所以月光星光里,他仍能够看见他的爱人。他的灵魂飞向了石棺中的爱人,永远与之相伴相随。这是一种海枯石烂矢志不渝的爱情。
