Henry Wadsworth Longfellow·1807–1882·Romanticism

he 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 revokesThe old and chartered Lie,The feudal curse, whose whips and yokesInsult humanity. A voice is ever at thy sideSpeaking in tones of might,Like the prophetic voice, that criedTo 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!
