Unnoted as the setting of a star <br />He passed; and sect and party scarcely knew <br />When from their midst a sage and seer withdrew <br />To fitter audience, where the great dead are <br />In God's republic of the heart and mind, <br />Leaving no purer, nobler soul behind.<br /><br />John Greenleaf Whittier<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mulford/
