"Calm on the breast of"."The Well Of Loch Maree" by John Greenleaf Whittier
https://www.public-domain-poetry.com...och-maree-6167
re:"Brave Young Lady" - nor could I, nor anything definitive about the poet other than poetry and an active status. Did find an eye raiser dated to 1951 that was rather amusing about a woman who received a divorce because her husband would read Shakespeare aloud, lol.
The well: "And blest is he who on his way / That fount of healing findeth!" Interesting how the holy font is now "Within, a Druid's mound is seen, / Set round with stony warders;" Enjoyed :)

"Give me a cottage". "Recreation." by W. M. MacKeracher
https://www.public-domain-poetry.com...creation-36793
I'm thinking recreation has to do with gardening :) Enjoyed.
"Hills where once my love and I" - William Bliss Carman; A Hill Song... https://www.poetrycat.com/william-bl...an/a-hill-song
I don't know in English. In Portuguese "Recreação" is usually a program of holiday activities and games one does with a group of people, children or tourists in a hotel, for example.
Hill Song-Nostalgic. Enjoyed but it made me sad too.

re: Adélia Prado- I hope there will be several good translations of her work, specially her poetry. After being forgoten for decades she von two important awards in an interval of five days. The Machado de Assis (not mentioned in the English Wikipedia page) and the Camões (the most important prize in Portuguese spoken Literature)

"KIND companion of my youth".VERSES SENT BY LORD MELCOMBE TO DR. YOUNG, NOT LONG BEFORE HIS LORDSHIP'S DEATH. by
George Bubb Dodington, Baron Melcombe
https://www.eighteenthcenturypoetry....84-w0680.shtml
From your link on Prado: Delightful - "You do not look for poetry. Poetry looks for you. Poetry happens to whoever is writing it. And then it is rewritten inside the reader, whose vision will remain forever transformed." And another from one of her poems: "You could worship tufts of grass, sand, / and not discover where oboes come from." :)
Enjoyed GBD, BM's poem :)

"Purple—is fashionable twice—" - Emily Dickinson; Purple—is fashionable twice... https://allpoetry.com/Purpleis-fashionable-twice
Good analysis, but I am avoiding a bit analysis if the poem isn't difficult. One gets hesitant in forming a personal opinion.
Just registered at All Poetry for free, to be able to access the complete lists of poems from a poet. I think it might interest you as one is very much encouraged to publish an own poem. It might be something for you, you might publish as taylor STATELY as you do here and you probably would get analises and followers.
Enjoyed this minimalistic poem by ED!

"At times my life suddenly opens its eyes in the dark."Kyrie" by Tomas Tranströmer
https://readalittlepoetry.com/2013/0...anstromer/amp/
Our poetry host: "Yesterday was— / Perhaps it’s better not talk to about it."
Kyrie: Enjoyed... I read the full transcript of an analysis I found, here is a snippet: "The poem “Kyrie” written by Tomas Transtromer, describes how the speaker feels about his life. He acts very pessimistic towards his life and gives an aura of being helpless and hopeless. Despite " a feeling of masses of people pushing," the speaker says, "no one sees me." Transtromer’s description says that he can relate to those looking for miracles, for he was once like them, but now knows better." from https://prezi.com/tfsxpugrximo/at-ti...0right%20time.
