Quotes

The Old Oaken Bucket (1817)

  • How dear to this heart are the scenes of my childhood,
    When fond recollection presents them to view.
  • Then soon with the emblem of truth overflowing,
    And dripping with coolness, it rose from the well.
  • The old oaken bucket, the iron-bound bucket,
    The moss-covered bucket, which hung in the well.
