Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - To William E. Channing
Work rating: Low

The pages of thy book I read,
  And as I closed each one,
My heart, responding, ever said,
  "Servant of God! well done!" 

Well done!  Thy words are great and bold;
  At times they seem to me,
Like Luther`s, in the days of old,
  Half-battles for the free. 

Go on, until this land revokes
  The old and chartered Lie,
The feudal curse, whose whips and yokes
  Insult humanity. 

A voice is ever at thy side
  Speaking in tones of might,
Like the prophetic voice, that cried
  To John in Patmos, "Write!" 

Write! and tell out this bloody tale;
  Record this dire eclipse,
This Day of Wrath, this Endless Wail,
  This dread Apocalypse!
