Explore "To Massachusetts" by John Greenleaf Whittier on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
WHAT though around thee blazes / No fiery rallying sign? / From all thy own high places, / Give heaven the light of thine! / What though unthrilled, unmoving, / The statesman stand apart, / And comes no warm approving / From Mammon's crowded mart?
Still, let the land be shaken / By a summons of thine own! / By all save truth forsaken, / Stand fast with that alone! / Shrink not from strife unequal! / With the best is always hope; / And ever in the sequel / God holds the right side up!
