4 quotes

A wife who preaches in her gown,
And lectures in her night-dress.

No blessed leisure for love or hope,
But only time for grief.

The Song of the Shirt (1843)

Each cloud-capt mountain is a holy altar;
An organ breathes in every grove;
And the full heart 's a Psalter,
Rich in deep hymn of gratitude and love.

The Quaker loves an ample brim,
A hat that bows to no Salaam;
And dear the beaver is to him
As if it never made a dam.
