Famous quotes containing the word whittier:

    “And the song she was singing ever since
    In my ear sounds on:—
    “Stay at home, pretty bees, fly not hence!
    Mistress Mary is dead and gone!””
    —John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

    “Yet, haply, in some lull of life,
    Some Truce of God which breaks its strife,
    The worldling’s eyes shall gather dew,
    Dreaming in throngful city ways
    Of winter joys his boyhood knew;
    And dear and early friends—the few”
    —John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

    ““Would she were mine, and I to-day,
    Like her, a harvester of hay;”
    —John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
