Lady Margaret Sackville

Lady Margaret Sackville (24 December 1881 – 18 April 1963) was an English poet and children's author.

• Eve, smiling, plucked the apple, then
  Laughed, sighed—and tasted it again:
  "Strange such a pleasant, juicy thing
  On a forbidden tree should spring!"
  But had she seen with clearer eyes,
  Or had the serpent been less wise,
  She'd scarce have shown such little wit
  As to let Adam taste of it!
