Greetings!

Okay I will be first to admit that this one was a tough question to answer.  If I had not been looking for an answer to a question on my Facebook page, I would have missed it. :-D

The quote is from a small book called The Song Of The Cardinal by Gene Stratton-Porter(1863-1924). She also wrote A Girl Of The Limberlost...Which was the tract of swamp land that she helped save over in Indiana.

I encourage you lo look the book up on Google Books, for it has been out of print for quite some time.
