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。 p2gdAJ

It was many and many a year ago, ; CCg]hX
In a kingdom by the sea, L[2qCxB'^
That a maiden there lived whom you may know I_ZJnu<
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;-- hH1Q:}a
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
&}p\&4
Than to love and be loved by me. / 3N2?zS{
She was a child and I was a child, h.vy SwF"j
In this kingdom by the sea, 71nZi`AR
But we loved with a love that was more than love-- uQO5GDuK>
I and my Annabel Lee-- utZI'5i
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven oDA'$]UL
Coveted her and me. r*`e%`HU

And this was the reason that, long ago, }U_^zQfaj
In this kingdom by the sea, aze#Cn,P}
A wind blew out of a cloud by night Z{^!z
Chilling my Annabel Lee; 9A.NM+u7
So that her high-born kinsman came #7 O7O~
And bore her away from me, -t4:%-wv
To shut her up in a sepulchre M

In this kingdom by the sea. FFw(`[A_

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven, .:j{d}p}
Went envying her and me:-- Wa^Wn +r
Yes! that was the reason (as all men know, K]m#~J3d>
In this kingdom by the sea) G!I++M"
That the wind came out of a cloud, chilling -w"I
And killing my Annabel Lee. [}4zqY{

But our love it was stronger by far than the love &s`)_P[
Of those who were older than we-- H2jypVs$2
Of many far wiser than we- FvT

And neither the angels in Heaven above, B9"o Ru^}
Nor the demons down under the sea, Dr.eos4 ~
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul v)du]
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee:-- ;I*t5{

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams 1!1JT;gG^9
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; 0cHcBxdF
And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes -KGJr
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; ompr})c
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side :5~Dca_iU4
Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride, ~%*l>GkP*
In her sepulchre there by the sea-- aE 07#
In her tomb by the side of the sea.
