TO MISS KINDER, ON RECEIVING A NOTE DATED FEBRUARY 30TH, by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I received, my dear hannah, with feelings delicious Last Line: And it just coincides with the calends of greece. Alternate Author Name(s): Aikin, Anna Letitia | ||||||||
I received, my dear Hannah, with feelings delicious The book you announced on a day so auspicious: A day of more wonders than soon can be told, When the young are all prudent, all charming the old. On this day, and alone on this day, shall be seen, In the Statesman no interest, the Patriot no spleen. On this day too the Miser, content with his store, Shall no longer be craving and thirsting for more; The lamb and the lion together shall play, And green Erin weave garlands to crown Castlereigh. All creeds shall be like, and all mysteries clear, Nor the Bigot shall frown, nor the Sceptic shall sneer. From the Pole to the Line, and from Spain to Cathay, The good and the wise on the throne shall bear sway. To the depths of the Ocean the plummet shall sound And the circle be squared and the longitude found; All wars, in all climes, on this day too shall cease, And it just coincides with the Calends of Greece. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TOMORROW by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD THE RIGHTS OF WOMAN by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD WASHING-DAY by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD A SUMMER EVENING'S MEDITATION by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD HYMN: 2 by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD LIFE [AND DEATH] by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD ON THE EXPECTED GENERAL RISING OF THE FRENCH NATION IN 1792 by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD THE MOUSE'S PETITION TO DOCTOR PRIESTLY FOUND IN THE TRAP .. by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD THE SABBATH OF THE SOUL by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD TO A LITTLE INVISIBLE BEING WHO IS EXPECTED SOON TO BECOME VISIBLE by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD |
