“The religion of our fathers overhung us children like the shadow of a mighty tree against the trunk of which we rested, while we looked up in wonder through the great boughs that half hid and half revealed the sky. Some of the boughs were already decaying, so that perhaps we began to see a little more of the sky than our elders; but the tree was sound at its heart.” HeartChildrenLittlesReligionFatherSoundHalfWonderTreeSkyShadowEldersOur FatherTrunks Author:Lucy Larcom
