Anne Hathaway

HIS Eve of Women! She, whose mortal lot 
Was linked to an Immortal's unaware, 
With Love's lost Eden in her blissful air, 
Perchance would greet him in this blessed spot. 
No shadow of the coming days durst blot, 
The flower-like face, so innocently fair, 
As lip met lip, and lily arms, all bare, 
Clung round him in a perfect lover's knot. 

Was not this Anne the flame-like daffodil 
Of Shakespeare's March, whose maiden beauty took 
His senses captive? Thus the stripling brook 
Mirrors a wild flower nodding by the mill, 
Then grows a river in which proud cities look, 
And with a land's load widens seaward still
