The Wife of Theobald Wolfe Tone
Matilda Tone née Witherington (1769-1849)[[53]]
“I thought, O my Love! you were so—
As the moon is, or sun on a fountain.
And I thought after that you were snow,
The cold snow on top of a mountain;
And I thought after that, you were more
Like God’s grace shining to find me,
Or the bright star of knowledge before,
