Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - The Statue Over The Cathedral Door. (From The German Of Julius Mosen)Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - The Statue Over The Cathedral Door. (From The German Of Julius Mosen)
Work rating: Low


Forms of saints and kings are standing   The cathedral door above; Yet I saw but one among them   Who hath soothed my soul with love. In his mantle,--wound about him,   As their robes the sowers wind,-- Bore he swallows and their fledglings,   Flowers and weeds of every kind. And so stands he calm and childlike,   High in wind and tempest wild; O, were I like him exalted,   I would be like him, a child! And my songs,--green leaves and blossoms,--   To the doors of heaven would hear, Calling even in storm and tempest,   Round me still these birds of air.
