The Statue over the Cathedral Door Annotated

Forms of saints and kings are standing
&nbsp The cathedral door above;
Yet I saw but one among them
&nbsp Who hath soothed my soul with love.

In his mantle,—wound about him,
&nbsp As their robes the sowers wind,—
Bore he swallows and their fledglings,
&nbsp Flowers and weeds of every kind.

And so stands he calm and childlike,
&nbsp High in wind and tempest wild;
O, were I like him exalted,
&nbsp I would be like him, a child!

And my songs,—green leaves and blossoms,—
&nbsp To the doors of heaven would hear,
Calling even in storm and tempest,
&nbsp Round me still these birds of air.
