    An American poet and editor, John Greenleaf Whittier was born December 17, 1807, in Haverhill, Massachusetts. The son of two devout Quakers, he grew up on the family farm and had little formal schooling. His first published poem, "The Exile's Departure," was published in William Lloyd Garrison's Newburyport Free Press in 1826. He then attended Haverhill Academy from 1827 to 1828, supporting himself as a shoemaker and schoolteacher. By the time he was twenty, he had published enough verse to bring him to the attention of editors and readers in the antislavery cause. A Quaker devoted to social causes and reform, Whittier worked passionately for a series of abolitionist newspapers and magazines. In Boston, he edited

      John Greenleaf Whittier was born to John and Abigail (Hussey) at their rural homestead near Haverhill, Massachusetts , on December 17, 1807. He grew up on the farm in a household with his parents, a brother and two sisters, a maternal aunt and paternal uncle, and a constant flow of visitors and hired hands for the farm. Their farm was not very profitable. There was only enough money to get by. John himself was not cut out for hard farm labor and suffered from bad health and physical frailty his whole life. Although he received little formal education, he was an avid reader who studied his father’s six books on Quakerism until their teachings became the foundation of his ideology. Whittier was heavily influenced by the doctrines of his religion, particularly its stress on humanitarianism, compassion, and social responsibility. John Greenleaf Whittier, Issue of 1940

    Whittier was once considered a national treasure; his birthday was a holiday in many states, and his verse memorized by schoolchildren. Whittier's poetry is out of fashion today, but many of his poems on Quaker themes can still be read with pleasure and value, especially by Friends or those interested in Quaker faith and history. That's why this selection of his poetry is being posted here. A brief autobiography of John Greenleaf Whittier can be found here

    Whittier's Autobiography, in Letter form
    Amesbury, 5th Mo., 1882 Dear Friend :—I am asked in thy note of this morning to give some account of my life. There is very little to give. I can say with Canning’s knife-grinder: "Story, God bless you! I have none to tell you!" In 1837 an edition of my complete poems, up to that time, was published by Ticknor & Fields. "In War Time," followed in 1864;. and in 1863, "Snow Bound." In 1860 I was chosen a member of the Electoral College of Massachusetts, and also in 1864. I have been a member of the Board of Overseers of Harvard College, and a Trustee of Brown University. But while feeling, and willing to meet, all the responsibilities of citizenship, and deeply interested in questions which concern the welfare and honor of the country, I have, as a rule, declined overtures for acceptance of public stations. I have always taken an active part in elections, but have not been willing to add my own example to the greed of office. I have been a member of the Society of Friends by birth-right, and by a settled conviction of the truth of its principles and the importance of its testimonies, while, at the same time, I have a kind feeling towards all who are seeking, in different ways from mine, to serve God and benefit their fellow-men.

    The Norsemen
    From "Narrative and Legendary Poems" by John Greenleaf Whittier
    In the early part of the present [nineteenth] century, a fragment of a statue, redely chiselled from dark gray stone, was found in the town of Bradford, on the Merrimac. Its origin must be left entirely to conjecture. The fact that the ancient Northmen visited the northeast coast of North America and probably New England, some centuries before the discovery of the western world by Columbus, is now very generally admitted. GIFT from the cold and silent Past!
    A relic to the present cast,
    Left on the ever-changing strand
    Of shifting and unstable sand,
    Which wastes beneath the steady chime
    And beating of the waves of Time!
    Who from its bed of primal rock
    First wrenched thy dark, unshapely block? Whose hand, of curious skill untaught, Thy rude and savage outline wrought? The waters of my native stream Are glancing in the sun's warm beam;

He grew up on the farm in a household with his parents, a brother and two sisters, a maternal aunt and paternal uncle, and a constant flow of visitors and hired hands for the farm. The house that he and his family resided in was originally built by the first Whittier, after coming to New England in 1683. This home, John Greenleaf Whittier's birthplace, is now called Amesbury home, and is open to the public as a tourist attraction. Beginning in 1814, he attended the district school during the short winter terms. In 1821, at school, he was first introduced to the poetry of

    A Winter Idyl
    by John Greenleaf Whittier
    To the Memory of the Household It Describes
    This Poem is Dedicated by the Author
      "As the Spirit of Darkness be stronger in the dark, so Good Spirits, which be Angels of Light, are augmented not only by the Divine light of the Sun, but also by our common Wood Fire: and as the Celestial Fire drives away dark spirits, so also this our fire of Wood doth the same."
      Cor. Agrippa, Occult Philosophy , Book I, ch. v.
        "Announced by all the trumpets of the sky,
        Arrives the snow, and, driving o'er the fields,
        Seems nowhere to alight: the whited air
        Hides hills and woods, the river and the heaven,
        And veils the farm-house at the garden's end.
        The sled and traveller stopped, the courier's feet
        Delayed, all friends shut out, the housemates sit
        Around the radiant fireplace, enclosed
        In a tumultuous privacy of Storm."
        Emerson, The Snow Storm.
        T HE sun that brief December day
        Rose cheerless over hills of gray,
        And, darkly circled, gave at noon
        A sadder light than waning moon.

    THE KANSAS EMIGRANTS
    WE cross the prairie as of old
    The pilgrims crossed the sea,
    To make the West, as they the East,
    The homestead of the free! We go to rear a wall of men
    On Freedom's southern line,
    And plant beside the cotton-tree
    The rugged Northern pine! We're flowing from our native hills
    As our free rivers flow;
    The blessing of our Mother-land
    Is on us as we go. We go to plant her common schools
    On distant prairie swells, And give the Sabbaths of the wild The music of her bells. Upbearing, like the Ark of old, The Bible in our van, We go to test the truth of God Against the fraud of man. No pause, nor rest, save where the streams That feed the Kansas run, Save where our Pilgrim gonfalon Shall flout the setting sun! We'll tread the prairie as of old Our fathers sailed the sea, And make the West, as they the East, The homestead of the free!

    Biography
    American writer of poetry, hymns and novels who was called "the Quaker Poet," as his life and poetry were closely connected with his faith of his upbringing. Although he had very little early education, he discovered poetry at the age of 14 and was first published at 18 to become one of the best known American poets. His first published works came to the attention of William Lloyd Garrison, who became his lifelong friend. Through him, Whittier became the editor of a Boston paper, 1829, which started his active involvement in the abolitionist movement, eventually devoting all of his energies to the cause. He became a member of the MA. Legislature 1834-1835, founded the Liberal Party in 1839, was a factor in the founding of the Democratic Party, served as editor of the "Pennsylvania Freeman," 1838-1840 and the Washington "National Era," 1847-1860. After the Civil War, his work "Snowbound", 1866, is generally considered to be his best work and made him famous. Whittier is also remembered for numerous ballads and has written over a hundred hymns. He died on 9/07/1892, Hampton Falls, NH.
