To the Stork by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

To the Stork Annotated

Welcome, O Stork! that dost wing
&nbsp Thy flight from the far-away!
Thou hast brought us the signs of Spring,
&nbsp Thou hast made our sad hearts gay.

Descend, O Stork! descend
&nbsp Upon our roof to rest;
In our ash-tree, O my friend,
&nbsp My darling, make thy nest.

To thee, O Stork, I complain,
&nbsp O Stork, to thee I impart
The thousand sorrows, the pain
&nbsp And aching of my heart.

When thou away didst go,
&nbsp Away from this tree of ours,
The withering winds did blow,
&nbsp And dried up all the flowers.

Dark grew the brilliant sky,
&nbsp Cloudy and dark and drear;
They were breaking the snow on high,
&nbsp And winter was drawing near.

From Varaca's rocky wall,
&nbsp From the rock of Varaca unrolled,
the snow came and covered all,
&nbsp And the green meadow was cold.

O Stork, our garden with snow
&nbsp Was hidden away and lost,
Mid the rose-trees that in it grow
&nbsp Were withered by snow and frost.
