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。 IX?%H!i

It was many and many a year ago, o xXW`C<
In a kingdom by the sea, oySM?ZE
That a maiden there lived whom you may know ^Es)?>eah
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;-- Byvq w JY
And this maiden she lived with no other thought x i,wL0{
Than to love and be loved by me. Z M, ^R?e
She was a child and I was a child, arL&^]JnZ,
In this kingdom by the sea, dk`!UtNNRa
But we loved with a love that was more than love-- ?yeC

I and my Annabel Lee-- <qY>d,+E'
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven O t<%gj;^
Coveted her and me. x%ag.g2I

And this was the reason that, long ago, =e{KtX.
In this kingdom by the sea, tvxcd*{

But our love it was stronger by far than the love ;FflEL<7Y
Of those who were older than we-- K# < Wt5
