Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - ChaucerHenry Wadsworth Longfellow - Chaucer
Work rating: Low


    An old man in a lodge within a park;     The chamber walls depicted all around     With portraitures of huntsman, hawk, and hound,     And the hurt deer. He listeneth to the lark,   Whose song comes with the sunshine through the dark     Of painted glass in leaden lattice bound;     He listeneth and he laugheth at the sound,     Then writeth in a book like any clerk.   He is the poet of the dawn, who wrote     The Canterbury Tales, and his old age     Made beautiful with song; and as I read   I hear the crowing cock, I hear the note     Of lark and linnet, and from every page     Rise odors of ploughed field or flowery mead.
