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, M{hA`
In a kingdom by the sea, l^"gpO${K
That a maiden there lived whom you may know @R`OAdy
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;--
(lt/ t
And this maiden she lived with no other thought 9J l9\y9
Than to love and be loved by me. ]lm9D@HMC
She was a child and I was a child, %T1(3T{Li
In this kingdom by the sea, o7hjx hmC
But we loved with a love that was more than love-- F>!fu.Ws
I and my Annabel Lee-- Z$6W)~;,
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven o.y4&bC14;
Coveted her and me. kk^KaD4dA

In this kingdom by the sea) ZTHrjW1

But our love it was stronger by far than the love VI37
Of those who were older than we-- %Ix^Xb0
