Hey everyone I absolutely love this movie! Its so cute and Garland and Johnson do a great job! But there is one scene where johnson is writing a letter back to garlands character and there a beautiful poem he or she sends with it I don't remember who sent it to who but I tried to get the name of the poet but the name flashed across the screen for me to get it. If anyone has any info about the poem or poet please it would be greatly appreciated.I love that poem! Thanks soo much!! Kim

Are you talking about the poem that starts out, "What shall I do with all the days and hours....."? The poet is Frances Anne Kemble.

What shall I do with all the days and hours
That must be counted ere I see thy face?
How shall I charm the interval that lowers
Between this time and that sweet time of grace?
