Additional quotes by Sarah Helen Whitman

The sweet imperious mouth, whose haughty valor
Defied all portents of impending doom.

Tell him I lingered alone on the shore,
Where we parted, in sorrow, to meet nevermore;
The night-wind blew cold on my desolate heart
But colder those wild words of doom,—“Ye must part.”

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.

When summer gathers up her robes of glory, And, like a dream of beauty, glides away. - Sarah Helen Whitman
