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。 gQ.Sa

It was many and many a year ago, i}?>g -(
In a kingdom by the sea, $ ME)#(
That a maiden there lived whom you may know #.[k=dj
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;-- 1BEHw?dLU
And this maiden she lived with no other thought >LuYHr
Than to love and be loved by me. ~Cjn7
She was a child and I was a child, 9nbLg5P
In this kingdom by the sea, { (}By/_
But we loved with a love that was more than love-- 4KrL{ Z+}
I and my Annabel Lee-- @lph)A Nk
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven 5kXYeP3:
Coveted her and me. T[A 69O]v

And this was the reason that, long ago, [0 e_*
In this kingdom by the sea, L

A wind blew out of a cloud by night {l >hMxij
Chilling my Annabel Lee; xId.GWY1
So that her high-born kinsman came Z%\,w(o[h
And bore her away from me, E4xa[iZ
To shut her up in a sepulchre !f6

In this kingdom by the sea. 0ZO2#>gh$

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven, cN 9t{.m
Went envying her and me:-- BsJC0I(
Yes! that was the reason (as all men know, %~S&AE-
In this kingdom by the sea) 1-QS~)+
That the wind came out of a cloud, chilling xN%K^Tree

But our love it was stronger by far than the love u

Of those who were older than we-- Yz<1

Of many far wiser than we- 7 x a>
And neither the angels in Heaven above, v*yuE5{
Nor the demons down under the sea, RpYERA gT
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul 8dyg1F

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams `@s^(hc7i
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; t0 ?\l)
And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes f y8Uk;
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; 5/z />D;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side

Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride, e?f IXk~b
In her sepulchre there by the sea-- gPc =2
In her tomb by the side of the sea.
