Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - St. John`s, CambridgeHenry Wadsworth Longfellow - St. John`s, Cambridge
Work rating: Low


I stand beneath the tree, whose branches shade   Thy western window, Chapel of St. John!   And hear its leaves repeat their benison   On him, whose hand thy stones memorial laid; Then I remember one of whom was said   In the world`s darkest hour, "Behold thy son!"   And see him living still, and wandering on   And waiting for the advent long delayed. Not only tongues of the apostles teach   Lessons of love and light, but these expanding   And sheltering boughs with all their leaves implore, And say in language clear as human speech,   "The peace of God, that passeth understanding,   Be and abide with you forevermore!"
