ELLEN TERRY, by ANNA GANNON First Line: Some say she is not human Last Line: Shall tell them of her gentle heart. Subject(s): Terry, Ellen, Dame (1847-1928) | ||||||||
SOME say she is not human This strange elusive woman That she's some gay enchanting elf From out the sea or sky; But I Believe she's just her gracious self. Some ever praise the acting, And others, all-exacting, Her silences adore. But when She speaks her own free mind, I find She is the most attractive then. Another generation Shall list in veneration, As all describe her haunting art, And sing her merits high; But I Shall tell them of her gentle heart. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SING-SONG; A NURSERY RHYME BOOK: 92 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI INSCRIPTIONS: 2.
