Additional quotes by John Greenleaf Whittier

As yonder tower outstretches to the earth
The dark triangle of its shade alone
When the clear day is shining on its top;
So, darkness in the pathway of man's life
Is but the shadow of God's providence,
By the great Sun of wisdom cast thereon;
And what is dark below is light in heaven.

No longer forward or behind
I look in hope or fear,
But grateful, take the good I find,
The best of now and here.
