Excerpt from Illustrated Poems of Oliver Wendell Holmes: With Illustration by George Randolph Barse
When brave Miles Standish took the bowl, and filled it to the brim So john did all ink and well he worked that night at Bunker s Hill! The ploughman. First in the field before the reddening sun Last zn the shadows when the day is done By yon twin sum/nits, on whose splinte crests The tossing henzlocks hold the eagles' nests mother's secret. And Mary culled the flaxen fibres white; Till eve she spun; the voiceless. We count the broken lyres that rest.
