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。 e2-70UvW^

It was many and many a year ago, A"bSNHCKF
In a kingdom by the sea, @^:7UI_
That a maiden there lived whom you may know ;*)fO?TG)
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;-- 9OQ0Yc!3
And this maiden she lived with no other thought LE0J ;|1
Than to love and be loved by me. UP~WP@0F
She was a child and I was a child, .XLV:6
In this kingdom by the sea, 7k`*u) Q
But we loved with a love that was more than love-- cpF1Xp vT
I and my Annabel Lee-- -M>K4*%K
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven p'%: M
Coveted her and me. S4{ Mu(^xT

And this was the reason that, long ago, 9HJ'p:{)
In this kingdom by the sea, 1 ~B<
A wind blew out of a cloud by night g@k#J"Q'[
Chilling my Annabel Lee; n$OE~YwP{
So that her high-born kinsman came FUzMc1zy|
And bore her away from me, ]4 K1%ZV
To shut her up in a sepulchre Dc&9emKI
In this kingdom by the sea. N&x WHFn]C

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven, R!_8jD:$
Went envying her and me:-- 7{Ki;1B[w
Yes! that was the reason (as all men know, \%-E"[!
In this kingdom by the sea) L&DF,fWsF&
That the wind came out of a cloud, chilling V'Z&>6Z
And killing my Annabel Lee. ].k+Nzf_

But our love it was stronger by far than the love /XW&q)z-Hl
Of those who were older than we-- #A|D\IhF
Of many far wiser than we- *b6I%MZn
And neither the angels in Heaven above, iBtjd`V*
Nor the demons down under the sea, ^ =/?<C4
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul fOK+DT~

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams Re kb?|{z
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; q2S!m6 !
And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes ;

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; wzDk{4U
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side |Uy e>%*}4
Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride, 20.-;jK
In her sepulchre there by the sea-- Ha=_u+@
In her tomb by the side of the sea.
