| 2009-08-21 | Lesley | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Wow, how fantastic. How on earth did you know, just like that. I could almost think you also learnt it at your mothers knee like I did but she only ever told me part of the text. Likewise in a question you answered for someone else on "Keeping his word". I only knew part of the text and now have the full version(s) thanks to you. I think these types of poetry are delightful and I can't thank you enough. |
| 2009-08-03 | Pam | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | What a wonderful Sunday afternoon. I was able to read three of the children poems my precious mom would always recite for me whenever we were sharing time together. I never grew too old to hear them.Happy memories for me now and happy memories for her at the time. It was part of her youth in the mountains of North Carolina. She told me that students were made to memorize poems to help develop their minds. She never lost the love of poetry. Thank you so very much for finding the poems for me and sending them so quickly. It defintely "made my day." |

| 2009-03-22 | Nancy | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Dear Mr. Nesbitt I can't believe how promptly you replied. Unfortunately this is not the poem I seek. My mother was of British ancestory and she also taught grade 5 for thirty years. I wonder if either of these facts might give a hint as to the source of this poem. Again I thank you for your prompt reply. I will be away for a few days but will be sure the check right away to see if I have another note from you. |

I memorized it 44 years ago for a declamation contest, but 44 years of cobwebs and a unique Italiano dialect all stood in the way of my remembering it! What brought it to mind?

Expertise
I am a reference librarian and a former advanced placement English teacher. I can help identify poems, and I can define literary terms. In the area of literary criticism or analyses of specific poems, my experience and interests are these: Shakespeare, 18th- and 19th-century English literature, and American literature. I prefer short, specific questions on particular authors, poems, terms, or literary movements. I will not edit lengthy submissions or write students` assignments.
Experience
Masters degree in English.
Highly rated volunteer at the grammar and writing section of Allexperts.com for more than two years.
