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。 P&Hhq>@Z

It was many and many a year ago, 7 /DDQ
In a kingdom by the sea, %w/:mH3FA
That a maiden there lived whom you may know xw1n;IO4
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;-- {=y

And this maiden she lived with no other thought ;@[a x{ J
Than to love and be loved by me. sbF A{l3
She was a child and I was a child, K7

In this kingdom by the sea, r $!
But we loved with a love that was more than love-- PV/ hnVUl
I and my Annabel Lee-- `hU 2Ss~
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven 9 NC'iFQ#
Coveted her and me. G\r>3Ys

And this was the reason that, long ago, z }P1+Pm
In this kingdom by the sea, m&6)Vt
A wind blew out of a cloud by night o{ K#LP
Chilling my Annabel Lee; dJmr!bN\;
So that her high-born kinsman came TaTw,K|/
And bore her away from me, nqib`U@"
To shut her up in a sepulchre 5jc y*G}[
In this kingdom by the sea. lh Fv2.qR

Yes! that was the reason (as all men know, 0"c(n0L
In this kingdom by the sea) gBy7 q09r

But our love it was stronger by far than the love *U|2u+| F
Of those who were older than we-- B%Z ,X jq
Of many far wiser than we- +"[}gss!@
And neither the angels in Heaven above, I h 19&D
