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。 noNm^hFL

It was many and many a year ago, |$hgT K[L
In a kingdom by the sea, kJ=L2g>W<.
That a maiden there lived whom you may know +=cam/A
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;-- ])y{BlZ
And this maiden she lived with no other thought X)uDSI~
Than to love and be loved by me. ^[->

She was a child and I was a child, ]UNZd/hIL
In this kingdom by the sea, ua

But we loved with a love that was more than love-- o;`!kIQ
I and my Annabel Lee-- _zC (J
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven *+lsZ8'^C
Coveted her and me. @qK<T

And this was the reason that, long ago, ~%y\@x7I
In this kingdom by the sea, qeaA&(|5
A wind blew out of a cloud by night w@]jpH;WX
Chilling my Annabel Lee; }X$l\pm
So that her high-born kinsman came EychR/s
And bore her away from me, Rt=
X%[YL
To shut her up in a sepulchre A%ywj'|z
In this kingdom by the sea. K5ZnS`c;

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven, I ftxSaP
Went envying her and me:-- "S(X[Y'
Yes! that was the reason (as all men know, 6E9N(kFYs
In this kingdom by the sea) o;J;*~g
That the wind came out of a cloud, chilling h8^i\j
And killing my Annabel Lee. A['uD<4b

But our love it was stronger by far than the love ]1fZupM^6
Of those who were older than we-- ZL%VOxYqi
Of many far wiser than we- sm s1%%~
And neither the angels in Heaven above, ValS8V*N1
Nor the demons down under the sea, V,QwN&
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul bY#

And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes G%w_CMfH
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; PHR#>ZD
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side PM~*|(fA
Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride, p$!@I
In her sepulchre there by the sea-- ++92:decM
In her tomb by the side of the sea.
