[Rest Christian martyr who for Truth could die]
Miss E. P. Nourse, Salem, Mass. Oak Knoll, 2d. Mo., 16, 1885.
My Dear Friend:—
I send thee four lines which I hope will serve your purpose. I think they can be put on the space assigned for them.
The monument, as I judge by the outline drawing, will be all that could be desired.
Thy friend,
John G. Whittier
Rest Christian martyr who for Truth could die
When all about thee owned the hideous Lie!
By souls like thine from Superstition's sway
Redeemed at last, the world breathes free to-day.
When all about thee owned the hideous Lie!
By souls like thine from Superstition's sway
Redeemed at last, the world breathes free to-day.
