Parker Cleaveland by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Parker Cleaveland Annotated

Among the many lives that I have known,
&nbsp None I remember more serene and sweet,
&nbsp More rounded in itself and more complete,
&nbsp Than his, who lies beneath this funeral stone.
These pines, that murmur in low monotone,
&nbsp These walks frequented by scholastic feet,
&nbsp Were all his world; but in this calm retreat
&nbsp For him the Teacher's chair became a throne.
With fond affection memory loves to dwell
&nbsp On the old days, when his example made
&nbsp A pastime of the toil of tongue and pen;
And now, amid the groves he loved so well
&nbsp That naught could lure him from their grateful shade,
&nbsp He sleeps, but wakes elsewhere, for God hath said, Amen!
