Rest, little guest, Beneath my breast. Feed, sweet seed, At your need. I took Love for my lord And this is my reward— My body is good earth, That you, dear plant, have birth. Anna Wickham is the pen name of British/Australian modernist poet Edith Alice Mary Harper (1883–1947). “After Annunciation” was originally published in the January 1917 issue of Poetry magazine and is in the public domain.

I love this photograph as the terrific poem goes so well with it. Thank you for alerting me to Anna Wickham.I will have a look at her work as it certainly seems to chime with my subject matter.
