Sunshine and Shadows

Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream?
In its Autumn tint of gold
We loved with a love that was more than love
An evil step be taken

In sunshine and in shadows
Romance, who loves to nod and sing
In a labyrinth of light
They put out the star-light
And all that I loved I loved alone

Soaring in the skies
With the tempest as they toss
Upon their quivering wing
Of which these butterflies
Who seek the skies

In sunshine and in shadows
Romance, who loves to nod and sing
In a labyrinth of light
They put out the star-light
And all that I loved I loved alone

Over the strange woods, over the sea
My hopes have flown before
And the stars, in their orbits
Shone pale, through the light
Over spirits on the wings
Over every drowsy thing

In sunshine and in shadows
Romance, who loves to nod and sing
In a labyrinth of light
They put out the star-light
And all that I loved I loved alone

The passion of their sleep
Far down within some shadow lake
Foot falls tinkled, many a flirt and flutter
Neither the angels in heaven above
Nor the daemons under the sea
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee

In sunshine and in shadows
Romance, who loves to nod and sing
In a labyrinth of light
They put out the star-light
And all that I loved I loved alone

I stand amid the roar of a surf-tormented shore
My passions from a common spring
The moon never beams without bringing me dreams
The stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Tempest tossed the ashore, desert land enchanted
Of poets, by poets as the name is a poets too
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee
