Memories of Cornwall / A Far Distant Time!

__________________________________

I have, in my possession, three poems from an 1800‘s woman who used to write for her own pleasure now and then. She was a slim black haired lady who tied her  long hair back with a band.

She had one daughter. Her daughter went on to produce a family and their descendants are still alive and well in Cornwall today.

Her history was that she was of a family in Canada who didn’t do too well having previously moved over there from Great Britain.

She, as daughter, came back to Britain alone and took up residence in a semi abandoned farm cottage. Later on she became pregnant and had a baby daughter in that same house.

The Cottage was on the Cornish Moors and the loneliness of a stand alone stone house, is one of the major  incentives for poetry writing, especially in places such as Bodmin Moor.

I have three of the poems and her descendant family also hold more of these poems, of hers, over in Cornwall.

I’m putting these three poems on this website because I feel that they are worth sharing. Also because I couldn’t think of any other way of sharing them other than on here:-
