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。 w

That a maiden there lived whom you may know {`1gDKH
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;-- 3,-xk!W$L
And this maiden she lived with no other thought CrI:TB>/"
Than to love and be loved by me. [E|%
She was a child and I was a child,

In this kingdom by the sea, Bgj^n{9x
But we loved with a love that was more than love--
