英語詩歌經典短詩有如下：
1、Rain（雨）
Rain is falling all around雨兒在到處降落
It falls on field and tree它落在田野和樹梢
It rains on the umbrella here它落在這邊的雨傘上
And on the ships at sea又落在航行海上的船只
2、The Star（星星）
When the blazing sun is gone燦爛太陽已西沈
When he nothing shines upon它已不再照萬物
Then you show your little light妳就顯露些微光
Twinkle, twinkle all the night整個晚上眨眼睛
3、Dreams（夢想）
Hold fast to dreams緊緊抓住夢想
For if dreams die夢想若是消亡
Life is a broken-winged bird生命就象鳥兒折了翅膀
That can never fly再也不能飛翔
Hold fast to dreams緊緊抓住夢想
For when dreams go夢想若是消喪
Life is a barren field生命就象貧瘠的荒野
Frozen only with snow雪覆冰封萬物不生
4、The Rainbow（霓虹）
There are bridges on the rivers河上有橋
As pretty as you please如妳所願的那麽悅目
But the bow that bridges heaven然而橫跨在穹蒼的長虹
And overtops the trees卻比樹梢更高
And builds a road from earth to sky而能建築壹條通行天際的道路
Is prettier far than these比這些更為美好
5、Boats Sail On The Rivers（小舟在河上航行）
Boats sail on the rivers小舟在河上航行
And ships sail on the seas大船在海中操輪
But clouds that sail across the sky然而白雲飄過天空時
Are prettier far than these比這些更為悅人
