Explore "At Early Candle-Lighting" by Annie Fellows Johnston on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
THOSE, who have heard the whispered breath / Of Nature's secret "Shibboleth," / And learned the pass-word to unroll / The veil that hides her inmost soul, / May follow; but this by-path leads / Through mullein stalks and jimson-weeds.
And he who scorning treads them down / Would deem but poor and common-place / Those whom he'll meet in homespun gown.
