Album The Complete Poetical Works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Chaucer by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Chaucer Annotated

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