Joanna Baillies painted by nouf : $ Joanna Baliile (11 september 1762 – 23 february 1851) was a scottish poet and dramatis. Baillie was very well known during her lifetime and , though a woman, intended her plays not for the closet but for the stage. Admired both for her literary powers and her sweetness of disposition, she hosted a brilliant literary society in her cottage at Hampstead. Baillie died at the age of 88, her faculties remaining unimpaired to the last.
Joanna Baillies Yes–I will strive–though, at the thought, my heart Sickens, and nature trembles at her part. I will not wholly lose thee, but believe, That, from on high, thy care I still receive; And, as I wander through the silent glade, Trace the sequester’d brook, or seek the shade, Through day’s long hours; or in the night profound, When stillness breathes a sacred calm around; Discourse with thee in spirit, though disjoin’d, And catch the influence of angelic mind. The force of virtue lasts beyond the grave, Still shalt thou watch, console me, guide, and save! Lead me from ill, and keep my steadfast eye, Fill’d with the prospect of futurity; Where, soon or later, if I teach my feet Thy steps to follow–we again shall meet.

• These lines are taken from Joanna Baillie “A Portrait”. ” It was written in the nineteenth Century (Romantic Age). • This poem represents the Romantic era in different ways. First, there is a vast use of imagination, for example, “angelic mind. / if I teach my feet Thy steps to follow–we again shall meet. ” (10/15/16). Second, there is a sense of emotion , for example, “my heart / Lead me from ill, and keep my steadfast eye Sickens. ” (1 /16). Third, she uses the nature, for example, “day, night , shade , sacred calm ” (7/6/8). • This poem is very interesting we, enjoyed it a lot. Because it tells that we should believe in ourselves and seek help only from god. It also shows her respect to her majesty. • `
