Thankyou. I am glad to have found this.

We just took this poem in poetry class today, and I really enjoyed it.. but you really brought it to life with your reading, your voice is enchanting, it sounded as if you were Thomas Wyat himself, writing the poem with a broken heart.

I was wondering, because I do agree with what you say... it doesn't nessecarily need to refer to Anne Boleyn, but maybe he was referring to his wife Elizabeth?

where can you find the song ?

@KTHubley I added to the notes a link to the first publication. There's no original music and probably never was. I don't know whether anybody has ever sung it, nor to what tune.

So your beef is that it doesn't taste like mutton...

Thank you, for bringing these poems to life in such an excellent way. Not much Shakespeare, though; I have mentioned it before, but I guess you do not take requests, but I would love t hear you reciting one of two of Caliban's dialogues form "The Tempest".

Thank you for the beautiful recitations
