Excerpt from The Hermit of the Saco: Story of the White Mountains The Hermit Of The Saco Introduction Why is the Minstrel mute? Is there no Theme In this fair land? Is Freedom's touch so cold, Too harsh for music, too wakeful for a dream? So lost in selfishness, and lust for gold, That the sweet Muse forgets to pluck the strings That lift the soul till with the spheres it sings?
