For any need of hers to die!

John Greenleaf Whittier.

DOROTHY Q
A FAMILY PORTRAIT

GRANDMOTHER’S mother: her age, I guess,

Thirteen summers, or something less;

Girlish bust but womanly air;

Smooth, square forehead with uprolled hair;

Lips that lover has never kissed;

Taper fingers and slender wrist;
