Eliot’s Oak Annotated

Thou ancient oak! whose myriad leaves are loud
&nbsp With sounds of unintelligible speech,
&nbsp Sounds as of surges on a shingly beach,
&nbsp Or multitudinous murmurs of a crowd;
With some mysterious gift of tongues endowed,
&nbsp Thou speakest a different dialect to each;
&nbsp To me a language that no man can teach,
&nbsp Of a lost race, long vanished like a cloud.
For underneath thy shade, in days remote,
&nbsp Seated like Abraham at eventide
&nbsp Beneath the oaks of Mamre, the unknown
Apostle of the Indians, Eliot, wrote
&nbsp His Bible in a language that hath died
&nbsp And is forgotten, save by thee alone.
