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…

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, …

And bore her away from me,

To shut her up in a sepulchre

In this kingdom by the sea
