上面那首罗伯特·弗罗斯特的诗,太深沉,太富有哲理,可能不太适合小姑娘。我另选了Edgar Allan Poe的诗,据说是韵律最美的英文诗之一。讲述一个凄美的爱情故事。 ~

It was many and many a year ago, }B"kJNxV
In a kingdom by the sea, F n6>n04v
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
^d!-IL_
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;-- g6nBu
And this maiden she lived with no other thought 0C3CqGP
Than to love and be loved by me. {At1]>
She was a child and I was a child, }J

In this kingdom by the sea, x; :[0(st}
But we loved with a love that was more than love-- W~gFY#w
I and my Annabel Lee-- rJR"[TTJ
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven m!v`nw ]
Coveted her and me. vZ|m3;X

And this was the reason that, long ago, iS02uVmBZ
In this kingdom by the sea, -N9U lW2S
A wind blew out of a cloud by night :^px1
Chilling my Annabel Lee; ~u

So that her high-born kinsman came 2&P'rmFm
And bore her away from me, A/GEDG

To shut her up in a sepulchre 4,uH 4[7
In this kingdom by the sea. n|{x\@VeF

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven, g{dyDN$5|w
Went envying her and me:-- * \f(E#wa
Yes! that was the reason (as all men know, In]h+tG?rN
In this kingdom by the sea) \<V{6#Q=
That the wind came out of a cloud, chilling uI+h9j$vS
And killing my Annabel Lee. {-H6Z#b[

But our love it was stronger by far than the love [ UQzCqV
Of those who were older than we-- [<bfwTFsl
Of many far wiser than we- _e/vw:
And neither the angels in Heaven above, +
Nor the demons down under the sea, uGgR@+7?Z

And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side z%]~^k8
