Explore "June on the Merrimac" by John Greenleaf Whittier on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
O dwellers in the stately towns, What come ye out to see? This common earth, this common sky, This water flowing free?
As gayly as these kalmia flowers Your door-yard blossoms spring; As sweetly as these wild-wood birds Your caged minstrels sing.
