Her even lines her steady temper show;
Neat as her dress, and polish'd as her brow;
Strong as her judgment, easy as her air;
Correct though free, and regular though fair:
And the same graces o'er her pen preside
That form her manners and her footsteps guide.
I am busy working to bring Anna Lætitia Barbauld's "On a Lady's Writing" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Anna Lætitia Barbauld's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "On a Lady's Writing" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
