Question
Hi,
I hope you are well and life is good. I found something interesting that I am not sure is true. I came across a poem that is claimed to be written by Anne Boleyn called "oh death rock me asleep" before she died. They also stated that the poem was discovered in a room of the tower where spent her last hours. An artist named Katy rose converted the words into a song its a cool tune but is it true Any of your great feedback is appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Hello Cassius.
It's far from certain that the poem was written by Anne Boleyn. It is probably contemporary, but personally I doubt if it is hers, it smacks too much of a romantic legend. There is no definate proof either way, so in the end it comes down to personal opinion.
