St. John's, Cambridge by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

St. John’s, Cambridge Annotated

I stand beneath the tree, whose branches shade
&nbsp Thy western window, Chapel of St. John!
&nbsp And hear its leaves repeat their benison
&nbsp On him, whose hand if thy stones memorial laid;
Then I remember one of whom was said
&nbsp In the world's darkest hour, "Behold thy son!"
&nbsp And see him living still, and wandering on
&nbsp And waiting for the advent long delayed.
Not only tongues of the apostles teach
&nbsp Lessons of love and light, but these expanding
&nbsp And sheltering boughs with all their leaves implore,
And say in language clear as human speech,
&nbsp "The peace of God, that passeth understanding,
&nbsp Be and abide with you forevermore!"
