On A Fountain

________________________________________________
Title:     On A Fountain
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier [More Titles by Whittier]

FOR DOROTHEA L. DIX.

Stranger and traveller,
Drink freely and bestow
A kindly thought on her
Who bade this fountain flow,
Yet hath no other claim
Than as the minister
Of blessing in God's name.
Drink, and in His peace go

1879
