Explore "Rev. Lemuel Wiley" by Edgar Lee Masters on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I preached four thousand sermons, / I conducted forty revivals, / And baptized many converts.
Yet no deed of mine / Shines brighter in the memory of the world, / And none is treasured more by me:
Look how I saved the Blisses from divorce, / And kept the children free from that disgrace, / To grow up into moral men and women, / Happy themselves, a credit to the village.
