John Greenleaf Whittier Comments

John Greenleaf Whittier who is ranked #127 on top 500 poets, has expressed strong perception about April and Spring season. Just I have read and reviewed his poem, which is chosen as the poem of the day. His wonderful poems really motivate the readers. The poet has done high perseverance.

I used the last line, " Eternal Love Remains" from " Immortal Love, Forever Full" as the epitaph on my husband's gravestone in 2006.

This poem is NOT by John Greenleaf Whittier. It may have been quoted by him, but it is much older. It goes back to Persia in the 12th century. Reference " Best Loved Poems of the American People

I really hate poems

I have a poem by JGW written to an ancestor. She was Mary Esther Carter (my mother's maiden name) and lived next to him in Amesbury or Newburysport. All my Carters were from those two towns. Caroline was 32 at the time. The poem's titled Valentine. It ends with his signature and 42. Dated 1849. Not sure if this is just handed down through generations or it's publicized.

Sirs/Madam, I have a question: Would you please help me by telling me the date Don't Quit was written/published (was it written by John Greenleaf Whittier or Edgar Guest?) and the name of the publisher? If there is a cost for this info., please email me and let me know the cost. Thanks.

I am not sure my PREVIOUS comment came through to you because I have had so much trouble with your verification codes. Several times I know the numbers were right but I was constantly informed that THE CODE THAT I GAVE WAS WRONG.
