Explore "Going East" by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
She came from the East a fair, young bride, / With a light and a bounding heart, / To find in the distant West a home / With her husband to make a start.
He builded his cabin far away, / Where the prairie flower bloomed wild; / Her love made lighter all his toil, / And joy and hope around him smiled.
