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。 Q 5jP`<zWU

It was many and many a year ago, Z,d/FC#y(
In a kingdom by the sea, Gpgi@

That a maiden there lived whom you may know U2bb|6j
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;-- -|3U0:'m
And this maiden she lived with no other thought =tog<7
Than to love and be loved by me. :#gz)r
She was a child and I was a child, 5-C6; 7%:
In this kingdom by the sea, 4 5Ql7~
But we loved with a love that was more than love-- \]r{73C
I and my Annabel Lee-- O=-|b kO
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven Ne#nSx5,
Coveted her and me. Y&j6;2-Z

A wind blew out of a cloud by night (te\!$

So that her high-born kinsman came kQH!`-n:T
And bore her away from me, @E==~ b
To shut her up in a sepulchre e~-Dk .i
In this kingdom by the sea. I5bi^!i

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven, 6}|vfw
Went envying her and me:-- 'l;?P
Yes! that was the reason (as all men know, ~pF'Qw"z|

But our love it was stronger by far than the love C&;'Pw9H
Of those who were older than we-- DL~LSh

Nor the demons down under the sea, 2R5]UR S
