Thomas Bailey Aldrich Quote

No bird has ever uttered note That was not in some first bird's throat; Since Eden's freshness and man's fall No rose has been original.


Poems (ed. 1907)


No bird has ever uttered note That was not in some first bird's throat; Since Eden's freshness and man's fall No rose has been original.

No bird has ever uttered note That was not in some first bird's throat; Since Eden's freshness and man's fall No rose has been original.

No bird has ever uttered note That was not in some first bird's throat; Since Eden's freshness and man's fall No rose has been original.

No bird has ever uttered note That was not in some first bird's throat; Since Eden's freshness and man's fall No rose has been original.
