The Book our Mothers Read ~ John Greenleaf Whittier

"We search the world for truth;
We cull the good, the pure, the beautiful,
From all old flower fields of the soul;
And weary seekers of the best,
We come back laden from our quest,
To find that all the sages said,
Is in the book our mothers read."

John Greenleaf Whittier
