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。 sYhHh$mwA

It was many and many a year ago, 7Ll?#eun
In a kingdom by the sea, 8J#x B
That a maiden there lived whom you may know v#lrF\G5
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;-- m@Dra2Cv'@
And this maiden she lived with no other thought !gJTKQX4
Than to love and be loved by me. ~:L5Ar<
She was a child and I was a child,
H u9nJ
In this kingdom by the sea, @d5$OpL$%
But we loved with a love that was more than love-- S{RRlR6Z
I and my Annabel Lee-- xw}rFY$
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven RBz"1hRo`
Coveted her and me. QOX'ZAB`

And this was the reason that, long ago, w\mT ug
In this kingdom by the sea, OMW]9E
A wind blew out of a cloud by night aGOS9
Chilling my Annabel Lee; 8.G<+.
So that her high-born kinsman came &q&~&j'[
And bore her away from me, R4X9g\KpAt
To shut her up in a sepulchre q*Oj5;
In this kingdom by the sea. &pQ[(|=(
|}2/:f#Iz*
The angels, not half so happy in Heaven, <:!E'WT#f
Went envying her and me:--

Yes! that was the reason (as all men know, >/Gw)K}#E
In this kingdom by the sea) *

That the wind came out of a cloud, chilling :t9sAD
And killing my Annabel Lee. {Q>4zepN!

But our love it was stronger by far than the love -X_\3J
Of those who were older than we-- cTz@ga;!mI
Of many far wiser than we- %"cO

And neither the angels in Heaven above, T6b~uE
Nor the demons down under the sea, ^*YoNd_kpN
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul lN&+<>a
