John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) was the poet laureate of reform. He was an ardent abolitionist, a supporter of William Lloyd Garrison, who was the first to publish his poetry. He also edited anti-slavery newspapers, supported John Quincey Adams' campaign against the "Gag Rule," and supported various free soil political parties before becoming a staunch Republican. He was also a strong supporter of Temperance and became an advocate of the Maine Law. Whitter also was an advocate of woman's rights, although a somewhat cautious one in that he hoped that women would gain political rights without weakening traditional family roles. An extremely prolific writer, Whittier also produced poems about nature, Quaker religiosity, folk tales, and innumerable other subjects including the "barefoot boy with cheek of tan." It is his role as an anti-slavery activist and his immense popularity that we focus on here. Compared to his great contemporaries Whitman, Poe, Dickinson Whittier comes off as a mediocre poet. Certainly none of his poems have the imaginative reach of Whitman or the haunting music of Poe or the startling precision of Dickinson. What they did possess was the power to appeal to the imaginations of Northerners in the middle of the nineteenth century. There is a message for us in his choice of metaphors, in his strong religiosity, in his moral sensibilities. He appealed to what his audience regarded as their higher natures.

A WORD FOR THE HOUR by John Greenleaf Whittier The firmament breaks up. In black eclipse Light after light goes out. One evil star, Luridly glaring through the smoke of war, As in the dream of the Apocalypse, Drags others down. Let us not weakly weep Nor rashly threaten. Give us grace to keep Our faith and patience; wherefore should we leap On one hand into fratricidal fight, Or, on the other, yield eternal right, Frame lies of laws, and good and ill confound? What fear we? Safe on freedom's vantage ground Our feet are planted; let us there remain In un-revengeful calm, no means untried Which truth can sanction, no just claim denied, The sad spectators of a suicide! They break the lines of Union: shall we light The fires of hell to weld anew the chain On that red anvil where each blow is pain? Draw we not even now a freer breath, As from our shoulders falls a load of death Loathsome as that the Tuscan's victim bore When keen with life to a dead horror bound? Why take we up the accursed thing again? Pity, forgive, but urge them back no more

Whittier, John Greenleaf American poet, born near Haverhill, Massachusetts, and largely self-educated. The young poet's earliest work attracted the attention of the abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, editor of the Free Press newspaper in Newburyport, Massachusetts, who asked him to contribute articles. Thus Whittier began a long career as contributing editor, essayist, and poet. A deeply religious man, Whittier followed the Quaker faith of his parents and is often called the Quaker poet. As a Quaker deeply concerned with politics and social welfare, he served in the Massachusetts legislature, was founder of the Liberty party in 1839, and participated in the founding of the Republican party in 1854. For more than 30 years, Whittier devoted himself to the abolition of slavery in the United States. Whittier's earliest works, including his Legends of New England in Prose and Verse (1831), were pastoral evocations of the rugged farm life of New England. With the end of the American Civil War, Whittier returned to his pastoral themes. Often considered his masterpiece and certainly his most popular work is the narrative poem Snow-Bound (1866). Based on the poet's childhood memories, this work is representative of his sincere, moralistic, yet emotional style.

John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) Back John Greenleaf Whittier was born on December 17, 1807 in the southwest Parlor of the Whittier Homestead. He was the first son and second child of John and Abigail (Hussey) Whittier. He grew up on the farm with his parents, a brother, two sisters, a maternal aunt, and a paternal uncle. In his early years he was witness to a constant flow of visitors and hired hands on the farm. He attended the local Haverhill, Massachusetts school and spent two semesters at Haverhill Academy. A teacher introduced him to the poetry of Robert Burns, which ultimately sparked his interest in writing. His first poem in print appeared in the Newburyport Free Press, which the abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison edited. Under Garrison's encouragement, Whittier actively joined in the abolitionist cause, edited newspapers in Boston and Hartford, and was associated with the Atlantic Monthly Magazine from 1857 until his death. In 1831, he penned a book of prose works, Legends of New England. In 1832 he returned to his native hometown to take over the farm after his father's death. In 1836, he moved to Amesbury. Before the Civil War broke out, he became increasingly involved in the abolitionist cause, serving numerous posts on the local, state and national level. He was also involved in the formation of the Republican Party. With the publication of Snow-Bound in 1866, Whittier finally enjoyed a relatively comfortable life from the profits of his published works. It is Snow-Bound for which he will always be best remembered. Nearly every volume of his verses published thereafter was a best seller. Whittier died on September 7, 1892 at a friend's home in Hampton Falls, New Hampshire, and was buried with the rest of his family in Amesbury.

My influences included a volume of Burns’ poems. 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!" 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. Neither of my sisters are living. My dear mother, to whom I own much every way, died in 1858. My brother is still living, in the city of Boston. My niece, his daughter, who was with me for some years, is now the wife of S. T. Pickard, Esq., of Portland, Maine. Since she left me I have spent much of my time with esteemed relatives at Oak Knoll, Danvers, Mass., though I still keep my homestead at Amesbury, where I am a voter.

On the banks of the Xenil the dark Spanish maiden Comes up with the fruit of the tangled vine laden; And the Creole of Cuba laughs out to behold Through orange-leaves shining the broad spheres of gold; Yet with dearer delight from his home in the North, On the fields of his harvest the Yankee looks forth
