Sweeter than any sung My songs that found no tongue; Nobler than any fact My wish that failed of act. Others shall sing the song, Others shall right the wrong,- Finish what I begin, And all I fail of win. (John Greenleaf Whittier)

Sweeter than any sung My songs that found no tongue; Nobler than any fact My wish that failed of act. Others shall sing the song, Others shall right the wrong,- Finish what I begin, And all I fail of win.

John Greenleaf Whittier
