Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Afternoon landscape: poems and translations, To John Greenleaf Whittier . (search)
To John Greenleaf Whittier. At dawn of manhood came a voice to me That said to startled conscience, “Sleep no more!” Like some loud cry that peals from door to door It roused a generation; and I see, Now looking back through years of memory, That all of school or college, all the lore Of worldly maxims, all the statesman's store, Were nought beside that voice's mastery. If any good to me or from me came Through life, and if no influence less divine Has quite usurped the place of duty's flame; If aught rose worthy in this heart of mine, Aught that, viewed backward, wears no shade of shame, Bless thee, old friend!
for that high call was thine.
Cambridge, Dec. 17, 1
