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。 Mo:!jS~a(Z

It was many and many a year ago, 2fHIk57jP
In a kingdom by the sea, {Oc?C:aI=
That a maiden there lived whom you may know )sqp7["-
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;-- 8 M".o n
And this maiden she lived with no other thought S20 nk.x
Than to love and be loved by me. u`L!za7fi
She was a child and I was a child, 42b =z//;
In this kingdom by the sea, #'G7mAoA
But we loved with a love that was more than love-- !.tL"U~4
I and my Annabel Lee-- *Dd(+NI
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven B J:E,P`_
Coveted her and me.
