John Greenleaf Whittier - Samuel J. Tilden

John Greenleaf Whittier - Samuel J. Tilden

GREYSTONE, AUG. 4, 1886. br br Once more, O all-adjusting Death! br The nation's Pantheon opens wide; br Once more a common sorrow saith br A strong, wise man has died. br br Faults doubtless had he. Had we not br Our own, to question and asperse br The worth we doubted or forgot br Until beside his hearse? br br Ambitious, cautious, yet the man br To strike down fraud with resolute hand; br A patriot, if a partisan, br He loved his native land.
