Maud Muller is a poem from 1856 written by John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892). It is about a beautiful maid named Maud Muller. One day while harvesting hay she meets a judge from the local town. Each is smitten with the other. The judge thinks that he would like to be a local farmer married to Maud while she thinks that she would like to be the wealthy judge’s wife. Neither voices these thoughts however and both the judge and the maiden move on.
