About this book
Poems of Nature, Poems Subjective and Reminiscent and Religious Poems, by John Greenleaf Whittier, brings together poems under the subjects named in its title. On Receiving an Eagle's Quill from Lake Superior describes fancy waking after darkness and cold have lain on the speaker's heart all day, and riding forth on an eagle's plume.
A speaker trusts that a grievous providence, however dark it seems, may lead by incomprehensible ways to some unguessed benign end, with no cross borne in vain. A minister walking with his little daughter through apple blossom smiles at the surrounding beauty and praises the Lord for the gifts given to them. The little maiden, walking on snow and pink, answers her father by saying that she thinks the pretty blossoms are very wicked.
