The baffled tower of Shinar's plain.
Children's songs
By Whittier, John Greenleaf
I am: how little more I know!
Whence came I? Whither do I go?
A centred self, which feels and is;
A cry between the silences;
A shadow-birth of clouds at strife
With sunshine on the hills of life;
A shaft from Nature's quiver cast
Into the Future from the Past;
Between the cradle and the shroud,
Artist: Whittier, John Greenleaf
Year: 1880
