Dorothea

Famous quotes containing the word dorothea:

“And the heavy night hung dark
The hills and waters o’er,
When a band of exiles moored their bark
On the wild New England shore.”

Bright jewels of the mine?
The wealthy of seas, the spoils of war?—
They sought a faith’s pure shrine!

The soil where first they trod;
They have left unstained what there they found,—
Freedom to worship God.”

On a stern and rock-bound coast,”
