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。 7|=*z

It was many and many a year ago, 40VdT|n$$
In a kingdom by the sea, tg%U2+.q
That a maiden there lived whom you may know XsE] Z4
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;-- :{pJ
And this maiden she lived with no other thought i7^_y3dG
Than to love and be loved by me. 7=jeq|&kN
She was a child and I was a child, 5~WMb6/

But we loved with a love that was more than love-- 3W*O%9t7
I and my Annabel Lee-- # f~,8<K
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven >{_`J
