John Greenleaf Whittier Quote

The gentle moon, the kindling sun,
The many stars are given,
As shrines to burn earth's incense on,
The altar-fires of heaven!

The gentle moon, the kindling sun, The many stars are given, As shrines to burn earth's incense on, The altar-fires of heaven!

The gentle moon, the kindling sun, The many stars are given, As shrines to burn earth's incense on, The altar-fires of heaven!
