: I am looking for a poem, or at least the name of a poem, by Matthew Prior that contains the following line quoted in John Steinbeck's East of Eden: : Abra was ready ere I called her name; and though I called another, Abra came. : American poets are not my area of expertise so I would be very greatful for any insight anyone might provide. : Thank you, : Melissa Warfel
