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。 CmY'[ rI

It was many and many a year ago, ?U cW@ B{
In a kingdom by the sea, B&O931E7
That a maiden there lived whom you may know tceQn

By the name of ANNABEL LEE;-- ]lXTIej`dy
And this maiden she lived with no other thought ^z "90-V^
Than to love and be loved by me. *&% kkbA
She was a child and I was a child, YB*ZY pRVl
In this kingdom by the sea, N6Vn/7I5%
But we loved with a love that was more than love-- qyP@[

I and my Annabel Lee-- $s)G0/~W
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven &

Coveted her and me. R`:Y&)c_$

And this was the reason that, long ago, esLPJx
In this kingdom by the sea, 6wqq"6w
A wind blew out of a cloud by night IT'~.!o7/

So that her high-born kinsman came & t+03c8g!

To shut her up in a sepulchre 6}

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven, z"Gk K T
Went envying her and me:-- *jCXH<?R
Yes! that was the reason (as all men know, BN |+2D+S
In this kingdom by the sea) <6Y o%xt
That the wind came out of a cloud, chilling rgRh ySud

But our love it was stronger by far than the love eeoIf4]
Of those who were older than we-- :@`Ll;G
