We meet in the restaurant alcove,for a brunch meal ,still some hot cross buns to butter,and hot chocolate to savour.Draw up a chair ,this Easter weekend Saturday,for this airing from perhaps the first female poet, Anne Bradstreet,who resided in what became the US, with her now famous poem about love ,four hundred years old but still true today for many of us..
First the recitation

Now having listened ,....the words to read,savour and consider....and digest ..
If ever two were one,then surely we
If ever man loved by wife,then thee
If ever wife was happy in a man
Compare with me ye women if you can
I prize the love more than whole mines of gold
or all riches the East doth hold
My love is such that rivers cannot quench
nor aught but love from thee,give recompense
Thy love is such I can no way repay
The heavens reward thee manifold I pray
Then while we live in love let's persever
that when we live no more,
we may live forever
