Poems of Felicia Hemans | 
Felicia Hemans (1793-1835) was one of the most popular poets of the #Regency period. Mostly forgotten today, she was as famous as Wordworth and Byron, back in the day. Here's her poem praising "The Homes of England." digital.library.uoen.edu/women/Hemans/records/homes.html

merelybookish @TheAnitaAlvarez @readinginthedark @LeahBergen @CrowCAH Her work is considered pretty sentimental by today's standards. But if you look in any poetry anthologies from before 1900, she's usually in there. 7y
