Published in 1847, five years after her epic poem, ‘Dionysus the Areopagite’, ‘Poems For My Children’ was Ann Hawkshaw’s second collection of poetry. The poems are dedicated to her six children and many are written in an intimate conversational style. ‘Ada’, the final poem in the collection, is a memorial for her second child, who had died of hydrocephalus shortly before her fifth birthday. Five historical poems, set in the times of the Druids, the Romans the Saxons, the Normans and the Crusades, punctuate the collection and anticipate her later collection, ‘Sonnets on Anglo-Saxon History’.
