United Kingdom, Poet 1786 – 1854.
Caroline Anne Southey was an English poet. As the second wife of Robert Southey, she supported him through his senile dementia.
After long absence, of return / To my dear home - Oh, happiness! / To lie in blissful consciousness / Of all around: The picture there - / The books - the flower-glass filled with care / By a kind hand - And then to know, / 'Twas but to rise, and meet below / Such a heart's welcome!
Fruit forced is never half so sweet / As that comes quite in season.
How happily, how happily, the flowers die away! / Oh! Could we but return to earth as easily as they.
