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。 Y8s;w!/

It was many and many a year ago, Q ~|R Z7G
In a kingdom by the sea, \9c$`nn
That a maiden there lived whom you may know 8 ,}ikOZ?
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;-- )-P!Ae_.v
And this maiden she lived with no other thought ;|ub!z9GG
Than to love and be loved by me. B l.u=I:Y4
She was a child and I was a child, dZ2 %S''\
In this kingdom by the sea, dT@UK^\
But we loved with a love that was more than love-- :1fagaPg
I and my Annabel Lee-- >O{7/)gS^
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven o.:p_(|hI
