Robert Seymour Bridges:
(23 October 1844 – 21 April 1930).
British poet who was Poet Laureate from 1913 to 1930.
A doctor by training, he achieved literary fame only late in life.
His poems reflect a deep Christian faith, and he is the author of many well-known hymns. It was through Bridges’s efforts that the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins achieved posthumous fame.
So sweet love seemed that April morn.
