THE WAY.
Reading edition
Believe me still, as I have ever been, The steadfast lover of my fellow men; My weakness,—love of holy Liberty! My crime,—the wish that all mankind were free! Free, not by blood; redeemed, but not by crime; Each fetter broken, but in God’s good time!
John G. Whittier
Amesbury, 10th MO. 16, 1852.
