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, #MHnJ
In a kingdom by the sea, ]o6yU#zn~e
That a maiden there lived whom you may know <rRmbFH#
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;-- _AI2\e
And this maiden she lived with no other thought KT{<iz_
Than to love and be loved by me. qq[2h~6P]
She was a child and I was a child, Q7"KgqpQ3
In this kingdom by the sea, V/"0'H\"1
But we loved with a love that was more than love-- .3{S6#
I and my Annabel Lee-- ItYG9a
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven 9{70l539
Coveted her and me. 9w11kut-!

And this was the reason that, long ago, WE|L{
In this kingdom by the sea, WYRTt2(+%
A wind blew out of a cloud by night '3[Ecy#
Chilling my Annabel Lee; bk2HAG
So that her high-born kinsman came +'uF3-+WY
And bore her away from me,

To shut her up in a sepulchre X[j4V<4O
In this kingdom by the sea. z;#}uC

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven, _f|Au`7m
Went envying her and me:-- [53@

Yes! that was the reason (as all men know, 'bY^=9&|
In this kingdom by the sea) 7g
That the wind came out of a cloud, chilling _#f/VE
And killing my Annabel Lee. #mk#&i3"k

But our love it was stronger by far than the love /:ma}qGy
Of those who were older than we-- 7R7g

Of many far wiser than we- "! p#8jR^
And neither the angels in Heaven above, L@CN0ezQs
Nor the demons down under the sea, ?Sn$AS I
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul VG&|fekF

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams W$:;MY>0f
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; y\5V(Q\
And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes "SLN8x49(
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; 6}C4 SZ
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side B(Y{
Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride, fR6ot#b
In her sepulchre there by the sea-- R!*UU'se
In her tomb by the side of the sea.
