One lamp—thy mother's love—amid the stars
Shall lift its pure flame changeless, and, before
The throne of God burn through eternity—
Holy—as it was lit and lent thee here.

More quotes by Nathaniel Parker Willis

He who binds
His soul to knowledge steals the key of heaven.

If there is any thing that keeps the mind
Open to angel visits, and repels
The ministry of ill—tis human love.

At present there is no distinction among the upper ten thousand of the city.

The value of life deepens incalculably with the privileges of travel.

The world well tried—the sweetest thing in life
Is the unclouded welcome of a wife.
