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。 5dem~YY5

It was many and many a year ago, C

In a kingdom by the sea, gaa;PX
That a maiden there lived whom you may know YpwMfl4
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;-- SC/V3fW,
And this maiden she lived with no other thought @-H D9h
Than to love and be loved by me. r8Pdk/CW^
She was a child and I was a child, i.Jk(%c
In this kingdom by the sea, (Aw!K`0Y1
But we loved with a love that was more than love-- U5pg<xI
I and my Annabel Lee-- z3Ro*yJU
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven kNDN<L
Coveted her and me. fkWTO"f-

And this was the reason that, long ago, fqQ(EVpQ
In this kingdom by the sea, F` "bMS
A wind blew out of a cloud by night RY9h^q*
Chilling my Annabel Lee; >+E
So that her high-born kinsman came 'D<84|w:1
And bore her away from me, VT~jgsY
To shut her up in a sepulchre SJ;Kjq.Qo
In this kingdom by the sea. !3T,{:gyrI

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven, 1@p'><\
Went envying her and me:-- {c\KiWN
Yes! that was the reason (as all men know, Ub9p&=]h
In this kingdom by the sea) =!Ce#p?h,
That the wind came out of a cloud, chilling +!9&zYu!
And killing my Annabel Lee. >cM}M =4s

But our love it was stronger by far than the love \V/;i.ng
Of those who were older than we-- W^Z#_{
Of many far wiser than we- y`Km96Ui
And neither the angels in Heaven above, 7PG|e#
Nor the demons down under the sea, Bgy?k K2[
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul <QZ X""
