Raul Moreno Poet Narrative

Vignette-Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Poems of pleasure poured from a heart,
Verses laced with profound emotion.
Embellished the pages with titillating titles,
Expressing sincere sentiments,
Plainly written...from a passionate soul. 



Ella Wheeler Wilcox (November 5, 1850–October 30, 1919) was an American author and poet. Her best-known 
work was Poems of Passion. Her most enduring work was "Solitude", which contains the lines: "Laugh, and the 
world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone".
