The Swan Song of Parson Avery by John Greenleaf Whittier
Hello Beeswaxcandle,

So it's unnecessary to include a link to Google Books? I just thought maybe that would direct users to the original source. But thank you for adding a helpful welcome page!

 * Hi, our preference is not to link off-site on main pages if possible. We would like vistors to browse this site rather than someone else's. The actual source we got this work from is on the Talk page. Also, if you follow the links at the top to "The Atlantic Monthly" and then to the particular issue, we have this poem is listed on its contents page to indicate its printed source.

 * That makes sense. Thanks! Joshuajohnson555 (talk) 07:00, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
