Saturday verbal poetry- Anne Finch- Countess of Winchilsea


the 18th century English poet, Anne Finch – Countess of Winchilsea.

Lady Winchilsea…

I looked for you yesterday in the field of wildflowers. Your promised me words to excite my soul to make my heart dance with joy. You laughed at me when I told you. You are the most beautiful girl in the field of color. You told me. Flattery can get you everything, do you want everything?
