Poetry of Henry Vaughan

There needs to be a unique page to link to the poetry I have blogged from my distant cousin, Henry Vaughan, The Silurist (1621-1695).

My review of a fictional biography of Henry Vaughan
In which I learned that "Amoret" refers to his first wife, Catherine, and "Etesia" refers to his second wife, Elizabeth, sister to Catherine whom he married after Catherine's death.

And here's a great article from BYU Studies:

And apparently, Apostle John A. Widtsoe was a fan of Henry Vaughan.

I need to add a plug for his twin brother, Thomas, the Alchemist, and sister-in-law, Rebecca Archer. I've been reading more of Thomas's writings recently and it is just as fascinating as Henry's poetry!
