The Poetical Works of Oliver Wendell Holmes — Complete

LA MAISON D'OR

Reading edition

(BAR HARBOR)

FROM this fair home behold on either side The restful mountains or the restless sea So the warm sheltering walls of life divide Time and its tides from still eternity.

Look on the waves: their stormy voices teach That not on earth may toil and struggle cease. Look on the mountains: better far than speech Their silent promise of eternal peace.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
