Additional quotes by Sarah Helen Whitman

Beside the brook and on the umbered meadow,
Where yellow fern-tufts fleck the faded ground,
With folded lids beneath their palmy shadow,
The gentian nods, in dewy slumbers bound.

The shy little may-flower weaves her nest;
But the south wind blows o'er the fragrant loam,
And betrays the path to her woodland home.

Warm lights are on the sleepy uplands waning Beneath dark clouds along the horizon rolled,
Till the slant sunbeams, through the fringes raining, Bathe all the hills in melancholy gold.

The summer skies are darkly blue, The days are still and bright, And Evening trails her robes of gold Through the dim halls of Night. - Sarah Helen Whitman
