Oh... It's lovely, and comes recommended from a trusted source in these matters. :-) Coincidentally, there is a woman on my f-list named Hell's Librarian who is looking for poetry.... any time period.... I will direct her towards this poem because I should. She loves to read .... LOVES it. She is one of the most voracious readers I can think of - always and exclusively posting about things she reads. It's neat that she shares this & so it will be lovely to reciprocate her gifts....

So I shared this with Hell's Librarian and she says "Thanks - that's lovely." :-)
