Explore "At Washington" by John Greenleaf Whittier on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Suggested by a visit to the city of Washington, in the 12th month of 1845.
WITH a cold and wintry noon-light / On its roofs and steeples shed, / Shadows weaving with the sunlight / From the gray sky overhead, / Broadly, vaguely, all around me, lies the half-built / town outspread.
