    “No man is born into the world, whose work
    Is not born with him; there is always work,
    And tools to work withal, for those who will:
    And blessèd are the horny hands of toil!”
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    “I thought of a mound in sweet Auburn
    Where a little headstone stood;
    How the flakes were folding it gently,
    As did robins the babes in the wood.

    Up spoke our own little Mabel,
    Saying, “Father, who makes it snow?”
    And I told of the good All-father
    Who cares for us here below.”
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    “They talk about their Pilgrim blood,
    Their birthright high and holy!
    A mountain-stream that ends in mud
    Methinks is melancholy.”
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
