One of Shakspeare's Women
From My Lyrical Life, First Series (1889)
Arts & Sciences
I sometimes think that Shakspeare has revealed
To rue that very self so long concealed:
But if his soul my soul has lightened through,
I sometimes think it was to gaze on you,
To find, with loving wonder in his looks,
One of his Women living out of bis Books!
