More quotes by Sarah Helen Whitman
When summer gathers up her robes of glory, and like a dream of beauty glides away.
Sarah Helen Whitman
The aster greets us as we pass With her faint smile.
Sarah Helen Whitman
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.
