Explore "The Rock-Tomb of Bradore" by John Greenleaf Whittier on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
H. Y. Hind, in Explorations in the Interior of the Labrador Peninsula (ii. 166) mentions the finding of a rock tomb near the little fishing port of Bradore, with the inscription upon it which is given in the poem.
A DREAR and desolate shore! / Where no tree unfolds its leaves, / And never the spring wind weaves / Green grass for the hunter's tread; / A land forsaken and dead, / Where the ghostly icebergs go / And come with the ebb and flow / Of the waters of Bradore!
