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。 iaq+#k@ V

It was many and many a year ago, ~0^d-,ZD5
In a kingdom by the sea, U)3*7D

By the name of ANNABEL LEE;-- 2br

And this maiden she lived with no other thought 2<

Than to love and be loved by me. @u.%z# h"1
She was a child and I was a child, [ITtg?]F
In this kingdom by the sea, 7a<-}>sU
But we loved with a love that was more than love-- Q96"^Hd
I and my Annabel Lee-- k4AF

With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven zS6oz=
Coveted her and me. ^O9_dP:

And this was the reason that, long ago, qkLp8/G>pO
In this kingdom by the sea, Avc9W[4
A wind blew out of a cloud by night 'on8r*
Chilling my Annabel Lee; C.& R,$
So that her high-born kinsman came @gn}J'
And bore her away from me, \QZ~w_
To shut her up in a sepulchre {zri6P+s
In this kingdom by the sea. \MY`R

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven, VY@6!9G
Went envying her and me:-- S

Yes! that was the reason (as all men know, >7[o=!^:4
In this kingdom by the sea) [s"e?Qee
That the wind came out of a cloud, chilling _@gd9Fi7J
And killing my Annabel Lee. Jw

But our love it was stronger by far than the love 3T|xUY)G4
Of those who were older than we-- 5g$]ou

And neither the angels in Heaven above, dpTeF`N
Nor the demons down under the sea, Z#1'STg

And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side 1h[xVvo<L
