Wikipedia connects this poet to Elizabeth Anna Hart without clarifying why anywhere that I could find in the article. The poem above is listed among the works of Elizabeth Anna Hart there as is at least one other title that seems to be associated with Fanny Wheeler Hart. I followed bibliographic links from the article but found nothing explaining the link. I'm assuming that Fanny Wheeler Hart was a pseudonym used by Elizabeth Anna Hart, but the evidence is weak.
