Analysis of Mulford
John Greenleaf Whittier 1807 (Haverhill) – 1892 (Hampton Falls)
Unnoted as the setting of a star
He passed; and sect and party scarcely knew
When from their midst a sage and seer withdrew
To fitter audience, where the great dead are
In God's republic of the heart and mind,
Leaving no purer, nobler soul behind.
