Quite good.....
I'm glad you liked it. Frankly, it was a last-minute substitution (I'd
planned to use a poem by an author who already it turns out already had
another poem slotted in this month.)
If I'd had it on the list, I'd probably have used it Saturday and
Oppenheim's on Sunday, as a segue to England, setting the scene for the
Spenser poem.
But, because it was short, I added a picture of a lark in flight, so it
looks good where it is; and it does flow well enough into Oppenheim's poem.
I doubt anyone will argue over this obviously obscure poet.

Yep, but he is fairly well known in Ohio.....

That copyright infringement can be a real bitch, can’t it dance.
Probably Public Domain.
Look it up.
