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。 zY_Bn J^

It was many and many a year ago, [t/7hx"2t
In a kingdom by the sea, ]+\;pb}bq
That a maiden there lived whom you may know ts/ rV#s~
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;-- ce-5XqzY@
And this maiden she lived with no other thought z}&w7 O#
Than to love and be loved by me. jPU:&1(_ n
She was a child and I was a child, 'D(| NYY
