This is an historic day for American public education and for our nation as we begin the journey to level the academic playing field for every student. State Boards of Education are ready to play an active role in this process and some have already started the progression of adoption. We are eager to move this agenda forward.

Yet will that beauteous image make The dreary sea less drear And thy remembered smile will wake The hope that tramples fear

William Bryant 224 quotes

So live, that when thy summons...

So live, that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan which moves To that mysterious realm where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,Scourged by his dungeon; but, sustain'd and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave,Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.' Thanatopsis

Where are the flowers, the fair young flowers, that lately sprang and stood
In brighter light and softer airs, a beauteous sisterhood?

William Bryant 224 quotes

Ye winds ye unseen currents of...

Ye winds ye unseen currents of the air,
Softly ye played a few brief hours ago;
Ye bore the murmuring bee; ye tossed the air
O'er maiden cheeks, that took a fresher glow;
Ye rolled the round white cloud through depths of blue;
Ye shook from shaded flowers the lingering dew;
Before you the catalpa's blossoms flew,
Light blossoms, dropping on the grass like snow.

Still sweet with blossoms is the year's fresh prime.

The breath of springtime at this twilight hour
Comes through the gathering glooms,
And bears the stolen sweets of many a flower
Into my silent rooms.

William Bryant 224 quotes

Oh, Constellations of the earl...

Oh, Constellations of the early night
That sparkled brighter as the twilight died,
And made the darkness glorious! I have seen
Your rays grow dim upon the horizon's edge
And sink behind the mountains. I have seen
The great Orion, with his jewelled belt,
That large-limbed warrior of the skies, go down
Into the gloom. Beside him sank a crowd
Of shining ones.

William Bryant 224 quotes

Beautiful isles! beneath the s...

Beautiful isles! beneath the sunset skies tall, silver-shafted palm-trees rise, between full orange-trees that shade the living colonade.

William Bryant 224 quotes

Father, thy hand

Father, thy hand
Hath reared these venerable columns, thou
Didst weave this verdant roof. Thou didst look down
Upon the naked earth, and, forthwith, rose
All these fair ranks of trees. They, in thy sun,
Budded, and shook their green leaves in thy breeze,
And shot towards heaven.

William Bryant 224 quotes

War, like all other situations...

War, like all other situations of danger and of change, calls forth the exertion of admirable intellectual qualities and great virtues, and it is only by dwelling on these, and keeping out of sight the sufferings and sorrows, and all the crimes and evils that follow in its train, that it has its glory in the eyes of men.

William Bryant 224 quotes

Lay down the axe; fling by the...

Lay down the axe; fling by the spade;
Leave in its track the toiling plough;
The rifle and the bayonet-blade
For arms like yours were fitter now;
And let the hands that ply the pen
Quit the light task, and learn to wield
The horseman's crooked brand, and rein
The charger on the battle-field.

William Bryant 224 quotes

And kind the voice and glad th...

And kind the voice and glad the eyes
That welcome my return at night.

William Bryant 224 quotes

A melancholy sound is in the air,
A deep sigh in the distance, a shrill wail
Around my dwelling. 'Tis the Wind of night.

William Bryant 224 quotes

Do not the bright June roses blow
To meet thy kiss at morning hours?

William Bryant 224 quotes

I hear the howl of the wind that brings
The long drear storm on its heavy wings.

William Bryant 224 quotes

Is not thy home among the flowers?

The hushed winds their Sabbath keep.

The February sunshine steeps your boughs and tints the buds and swells the leaves within.

I shall seeThe hour of death draw near to me,Hope, blossoming within my heart. . . .
