Felicia Hemans

Of the English Language she does remain a major poet
Felicia Hemans though long deceased is a literrary person of note
Born in Liverpool in England in Dublin in Ireland she died
Many of her poems were inspired by her beloved Welsh countryside

Even in her lifetime Felicia Hemans was famous and became widely known
One can surely say of her one in a class of her own
For one who died at a relatively young age her output of quality poetry was great
In just over two decades of writing many great poems she did create

One like her surely a credit to the Wordsmith Trade
It is only in the mind of a genius that a poem that lives on for centuries is made
And the word genius to Felicia Hemans does have to apply
The many great poems she penned in her short lifetime to this does testify

A woman with words who surely did have a way
Not many poets of her caliber living in the Human World of today
Though since she drew her last breath many decades of time have gone
Many of the poems she created today are living on.
