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。 qsOA(+ZP

It was many and many a year ago, 0x7F~%%2
In a kingdom by the sea, ![h+R@_(
That a maiden there lived whom you may know =iW!Mq
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;-- x$Y44v'>
And this maiden she lived with no other thought 'r~,~AI
Than to love and be loved by me. [fx1H~T<
She was a child and I was a child,

In this kingdom by the sea, tJ>%Xop
But we loved with a love that was more than love-- b#`XmB
I and my Annabel Lee-- G0oY`WXOB
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven GvSSi'q~B
Coveted her and me. %X7R_>.

And this was the reason that, long ago, |5oK04<
In this kingdom by the sea, d[E~}Dq3#
A wind blew out of a cloud by night

To shut her up in a sepulchre AFE6@/'

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven, Aslh}'$}-

Yes! that was the reason (as all men know, -sO[,
In this kingdom by the sea) a\;1%2a
That the wind came out of a cloud, chilling Jmrs@

But our love it was stronger by far than the love d` %8qLIW

And neither the angels in Heaven above, BmR++ ?L
Nor the demons down under the sea, yY_(o]k
