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。 Oakb

By the name of ANNABEL LEE;-- sP@X g;]
And this maiden she lived with no other thought !y:%0{l
Than to love and be loved by me. <A5

She was a child and I was a child, 8~lIe:F-
In this kingdom by the sea, !4"^`ors$
But we loved with a love that was more than love-- 4+;$7"fJ
I and my Annabel Lee-- 4mjgt<`
