Sarah Helen Whitman Inspirational Quotes (4)

The shy little Mayflower weaves her nest, But the south wind sighs o'er the fragrant loam, And betrays the path to her woodland home.

When summer gathers up her robes of glory, and like a dream of beauty glides away.

The aster greets us as we pass With her faint smile.

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.
