Mary Frances Tucker (née, Tyler; May 16, 1837 – 1902) was an American poet. Not a prolific writer, her best work was inspired by a moral sentiment.[1] About the year 1854, two of Tucker's poems appeared in The National Era which soon became popular, and which afterwards, periodically, went the rounds of the press. The one more often printed, perhaps, was "Cometh A Blessing Down".[2] Other notable poems include "Goin Up And Coming Down" (1856) and "Sonnet" (1856).[3][4][5]
