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。 ;A"i .:ZT

It was many and many a year ago, rFC9y o
In a kingdom by the sea, L28wT)D-
That a maiden there lived whom you may know V0,5c`H c
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;-- \[]BB5)8
And this maiden she lived with no other thought yP-

Than to love and be loved by me. ;H%

She was a child and I was a child, K-*ZS8
In this kingdom by the sea, 9(=+OQ6
But we loved with a love that was more than love-- po ]<sB
I and my Annabel Lee-- "\9 beK:l
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven *pS3xit~
Coveted her and me. i/8OC

And this was the reason that, long ago, 'd QGb-<_<
In this kingdom by the sea, %ByqkY{5F
A wind blew out of a cloud by night yoq-H+<

To shut her up in a sepulchre 8EiS\$O-

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven, VW Xy N
Went envying her and me:-- ;gJAxVD<

In this kingdom by the sea) c2GTN "
That the wind came out of a cloud, chilling 33}p02#

But our love it was stronger by far than the love g(jn

And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side

In her sepulchre there by the sea-- ij?]fXf:)y
In her tomb by the side of the sea.
