Hidden Poem Found


Recently, the Guardian had a story about a hidden poem that was found recently. It was written by William Wordsworth's second cousin, Emmeline Fisher.

The poem reads, in part:

Bones of our wild forefathers, Oh forgive if now we pierce the chambers of your rest.

Which brings me to the question that begs to be answered: Who cares? With that question put for I present...
