Here's is another author that i was lulled to sleep with and this write is also permantly impressed in my psyche.
English Poetry III: From Tennyson to Whitman.
The Harvard Classics. 1909–14. |
| | 788. The Children’s Hour |
| | Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882) |
|
| | BETWEEN the dark and the daylight, | | | When the night is beginning to lower, | | | Comes a pause in the day’s occupations, | | | That is known as the Children’s Hour. | |
| | I hear in the chamber above me | 5 | | The patter of little feet, | | | The sound of a door that is opened, | | | And voices soft and sweet. | |
| | From my study I see in the lamplight, | | | Descending the broad hall stair, | 10 | | Grave Alice, and laughing Allegra, | | | And Edith with golden hair. | |
| | A whisper, and then a silence: | | | Yet I know by their merry eyes | | | They are plotting and planning together | 15 | | To take me by surprise. | |
| | A sudden rush from the stairway, | | | A sudden raid from the hall! | | | By three doors left unguarded | | | They enter my castle wall! | 20 |
| | They climb up into my turret | | | O’er the arms and back of my chair; | | | If I try to escape, they surround me; | | | They seem to be everywhere. | |
| | They almost devour me with kisses, | 25 | | Their arms about me entwine, | | | Till I think of the Bishop of Bingen | | | In his Mouse-Tower on the Rhine! | |
| | Do you think, O blue-eyed banditti, | | | Because you have scaled the wall, | 30 | | Such an old mustache as I am | | | Is not a match for you all! | |
| | I have you fast in my fortress, | | | And will not let you depart, | | | But put you down into the dungeon | 35 | | In the round-tower of my heart. | |
| | And there will I keep you forever, | | | Yes, forever and a day, | | | Till the walls shall crumble to ruin, | | | And moulder in dust away! | 40 |
