| Posted By: Margaret Posted On: Nov 27, 2015 Views: 387 | Nostalgia I too, came across this poem in Anne of Green Gables, and could never find it any anthology. I had no idea it was written by Caroline Norton. She wrote it to keep body and soul together, in the days when women had no rights or prospects other than in marriage. It is wonderful to be able to Google such things. |
| Posted By: Becky Brown Posted On: Jul 10, 2014 Views: 699 | Bingen on the Rhine This poem is mentioned in Anne of Green Gables. Gilbert recites it, and when he comes to the part 'There's another, not a sister' he looks right at Anne (as reported by Diana). I've always wanted to know what the poem was about - and now I know! |
