STELLA'S BIRTHDAY, by WILLIAM COWPERPoet AnalysisPoet's Biography
First Line: How many between east and west Last Line: And wish her born once more! Variant Title(s): To Miss Creuze On Her Birthday
How many between east and west Disgrace their parent earth, Whose deeds constrain us to detest The day that gave them birth! Not so when Stella's natal morn Revolving months restore, We can rejoice that she was born, And wish her born once more!
