GEORGE POPE MORRIS
American lyric poet and journalist
(1802 - 1864)

We esteem in the world those who do not merit our esteem, and neglect persons of true worth; but the world is like the ocean--the pearl is in its depths, the seaweed swims.
      - [Esteem]

Near the lake where drooped the willow,
  Long time ago.
      - Near the Lake [Willow]

"A song for our banner?"--The watchword recall
  Which gave the Republic her station;
    "United we stand--divided we fall!"
      It made and preserves us a nation!
      - The Flag of Our Union [Flags]

The flag of our Union forever!
      - The Flag of Our Union [Flags]

The union of lakes--the union of lands--
  The union of States none can sever--
    The union of hearts--the union of hands--
      And the flag of our Union for ever!
      - The Flag of Our Union [Unity]

Woodman, spare that tree!
  Touch not a single bough!
    In youth it sheltered me,
      And I'll protect it now.
      - Woodman, Spare That Tree [Trees]
