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。 L#UR>Z#9

It was many and many a year ago, .w.:o2L
In a kingdom by the sea, GYaP"3Lu
That a maiden there lived whom you may know f` uRC-B/
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;--

And this maiden she lived with no other thought .="XvVdkp
Than to love and be loved by me. E

She was a child and I was a child, :BF ? r
In this kingdom by the sea, ==5F[UX
But we loved with a love that was more than love-- `)n4I:)2
I and my Annabel Lee-- *n? 1C"l

And this was the reason that, long ago, .9qK88fU R
In this kingdom by the sea, fo@^=-4A-
A wind blew out of a cloud by night r<e%;S

So that her high-born kinsman came 9RaO[j`
And bore her away from me, @%R<3!3v
To shut her up in a sepulchre ^QRg9s,T<
In this kingdom by the sea. ;[sW\Ou

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven, {q?&h'#y
Went envying her and me:-- a[O6xA%

But our love it was stronger by far than the love 5G*cAlU
Of those who were older than we-- 7w/IHM L
