and, concealing her face on his shoulder,All her o'erburdened heart gave way, and she wept and lamented.Then the good Basil said,—and his voice grew blithe as he said it,—"Be of good cheer, my child; it is only to-day he departed.Foolish boy! Through the great groves of oak to the skirts of the limitless prairie. Or the loud bellowing herds of buffaloes rush to the river. Footfalls are heard in the aisles, or words of the priest at the altar. ", But made answer the reverend man, and he smiled as he answered,—. When over weary ways, by long and perilous marches. Come, take thy place on the settleClose by the chimney-side, which is always empty without thee;Take from the shelf overhead thy pipe and the box of tobacco;Never so much thyself art thou as when through the curlingSmoke of the pipe or the forge thy friendly and jovial face gleamsRound and red as the harvest moon through the mist of the marshes. The poet talks about a person, the blacksmith of course, who is strong and he is standing under the chestnut tree.

The Village Blacksmith, A Psalm Of Life, The Wreck of Hesperus, The Divine Tragedy, Voices of the Night etc are his notable works. There disorder prevailed, and the tumult and stir of embarking.Busily plied the freighted boats; and in the confusionWives were torn from their husbands, and mothers, too late, saw their childrenLeft on the land, extending their arms, with wildest entreaties.So unto separate ships were Basil and Gabriel carried,While in despair on the shore Evangeline stood with her father.Half the task was not done when the sun went down, and the twilightDeepened and darkened around; and in haste the refluent oceanFled away from the shore, and left the line of the sand-beachCovered with waifs of the tide, with kelp and the slippery sea-weed.Farther back in the midst of the household goods and the wagons,Like to a gypsy camp, or a leaguer after a battle,All escape cut off by the sea, and the sentinels near them,Lay encamped for the night the houseless Acadian farmers.Back to its nethermost caves retreated the bellowing ocean,Dragging adown the beach the rattling pebbles, and leavingInland and far up the shore the stranded boats of the sailors.Then, as the night descended, the herds returned from their pastures;Sweet was the moist still air with the odor of milk from their udders;Lowing they waited, and long, at the well-known bars of the farm-yard,—Waited and looked in vain for the voice and the hand of the milkmaid.Silence reigned in the streets; from the church no Angelus sounded,Rose no smoke from the roofs, and gleamed no lights from the windows. Alas! Over her head the stars, the thoughts of God in the heavens. Love without dissimulation, a holy and inward adorning. Motionless, senseless, dying, he lay, and his spirit exhausted. Nearer and round about her, the manifold flowers of the garden, Poured out their souls in odors, that were their prayers and confessions. Under a spreading chestnut tree The village smithy stands; The smith, a mighty man is he, With large and sinewy hands; And the muscles of his brawny arms Are strong as iron bands. On Sundays, the blacksmith, a single father after the death of his wife, takes his children to church, where his daughter sings in the village choir. Then with a smile on her lips made answer Hannah the housemaid:“Beautiful winter! Let me essay, O Muse! Take in his leathern lap the hoof of the horse as a plaything, Nailing the shoe in its place; while near him the tire of the cart-wheel. High on the trunk of the tree, and overshadowed by grapevines. [2] The poem was written early in Longfellow's poetic career, around the same time he published his first collection, Voices of the Night, in 1839. Silent at times, then singing familiar Canadian boat-songs. Touching the sombre leaves, and embracing and filling the woodland. Borne aloft on his comrades' arms, came Michael the fiddler. ", Then, with a sudden and secret emotion, Evangeline answered,—, "Let us go to the Mission, for there good tidings await us!". Sped in his bashful wooing with homely Hannah the housemaid; For when he asked her the question, she answered, ”Nay”; and then added, “But thee may make believe, and see what will come of it, Joseph.”. The Royal New Zealand Army Ordnance Corps adopted the same march. A nor'easter destroyed the original building in 1992, and a replacement in the form of an East Marion onion shack was moved to Greenport in 1999. said the priest, as he stood at the shadowy threshold;"See that you bring us the Prodigal Son from his fasting and famine,And, too, the Foolish Virgin, who slept when the bridegroom was coming.""Farewell!"

So was her love diffused, but, like to some odorous spices. Though he behold it not, he can hear its continuous murmur; Happy, at length, if he find the spot where it reaches an outlet. Found they trace of his course, in lake or forest or river, Nor, after many days, had they found him; but vague and uncertain. Down sank the great red sun, and in golden, glimmering vapors. Then growing nearer and louder, and turning into the farmyard. we have seen him.He is a Voyageur in the lowlands of Louisiana. Sat, conversing together of past and present and future; While Evangeline stood like one entranced, for within her, Olden memories rose, and loud in the midst of the music, Heard she the sound of the sea, and an irrepressible sadness. Like the protecting hand of God inverted above them. Many a youth, as he knelt in the church and opened his missal. Fear no evil, my friend, and to-night may no shadow of sorrow. Stood in the public square, upholding the scales in its left hand, And in its right a sword, as an emblem that justice presided. Overwhelmed with the sight, yet speechless, the priest and the maiden. As the cold, poisonous snake creeps into the nest of the swallow. Fell on an orphan girl who lived as maid in the household. Foremost the young men came; and, raising together their voices, Sang with tremulous lips a chant of the Catholic Missions:—. So she folded her work and laid it away in her basket. Built o'er a box for the poor, or the blessed image of Mary. Our forge is based in Motueka. Peasant's cottage with golden thatch, and emblazoned its windows. Meeting in exile, became straightway as friends to each other. Joseph is long on his errand.I have sent him away with a hamper of food and of clothingFor the poor in the village. with a mournful sound, like the voice of a vast congregation. Bright with luxuriant clusters of roses and purple amorphas. But Elizabeth checked her, and answered, mildly reproving: “Surely the Lord will provide; for unto the snow he sayeth, Be thou on the earth, the good Lord sayeth; He is it, Giveth snow like wool, like ashes scatters the hoar-frost.”. Sweeps with majestic curve the river away to the eastward. Camp-fires long consumed, and bones that bleach in the sunshine. Thus to the Gaspereau's mouth moved on that mournful procession. Into the east again, from whence it late had arisen. Then with a smile on her lips made answer Hannah the housemaid: “Beautiful winter! Smouldered the fire on the hearth, on the board was the supper untasted. "Far to the north he has gone," continued the priest; "but in autumn,When the chase is done, will return again to the Mission. Where all men were equal, and all were brothers and sisters. Then Elizabeth said, not troubled nor wounded in spirit. Bent like a laboring oar, that toils in the surf of the ocean. Darkened by shadows of earth, but reflecting an image of heaven? We will not speak of it further.It hath been laid upon me to tell thee this, for to-morrowThou art going away, across the sea, and I know notWhen I shall see thee more; but if the Lord hath decreed it,Thou wilt return again to seek me here and to find me.”And they rode onward in silence, and entered the town with the others. Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing,Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness;So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another,Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence. Then glad voices were heard, and up from the banks of the river. Over the laws of the land, and the hearts and homes of the people. she was fair, exceeding fair to behold, as she stood withNaked snow-white feet on the gleaming floor of her chamber!Little she dreamed that below, among the trees of the orchard,Waited her lover and watched for the gleam of her lamp and her shadow.Yet were her thoughts of him, and at times a feeling of sadnessPassed o'er her soul, as the sailing shade of clouds in the moonlightFlitted across the floor and darkened the room for a moment.And, as she gazed from the window, she saw serenely the moon passForth from the folds of a cloud, and one star follow her footsteps,As out of Abraham's tent young Ishmael wandered with Hagar! "Over Evangeline's face at the words of Basil a shade passed.Tears came into her eyes, and she said, with a tremulous accent,—"Gone? Desolate northern bays to the shores of tropical islands, Harvests were gathered in; and wild with the winds of September. We must learn from him – his hard work and satisfaction. Benedict Bellefontaine, the wealthiest farmer of Grand-Pré. Flagons of home-brewed ale, ah! Blushed at each blood-red ear, for that betokened a lover. They stood by the graves, and hung on the headstones. Floated a cumbrous boat, that was rowed by Acadian boatmen. "Cheered by the good man's words, Evangeline labored and waited.Still in her heart she heard the funeral dirge of the ocean,But with its sound there was mingled a voice that whispered, "Despair not! Wishing to strengthen thy hand in the labors of love thou art doing.”, And Elizabeth answered with confident voice, and serenely. These things beheld in dismay the crowd on the shore and on shipboard.Speechless at first they stood, then cried aloud in their anguish,"We shall behold no more our homes in the village of Grand-Pré! Years have passed, it seemeth a wonderful thing that I find thee. Meanwhile, apart, at the head of the hall, the priest and the herdsmanSat, conversing together of past and present and future;While Evangeline stood like one entranced, for within herOlden memories rose, and loud in the midst of the musicHeard she the sound of the sea, and an irrepressible sadnessCame o'er her heart, and unseen she stole forth into the garden.Beautiful was the night. "Benedict Bellefontaine, thou hast ever thy jest and thy ballad! When a happier seasonBrings us again to our homes from the unknown land of our exile,Then shall his sacred dust be piously laid in the churchyard. The house itself was of timbers. we have seen him.He was with Basil the blacksmith, and both have gone to the prairies;Coureurs-des-Bois are they, and famous hunters and trappers. And John Estaugh made answer, surprised by the words she had spoken. Day with its burden and heat had departed, and twilight descending. Hark! Painful the task is I do, which to you I know must be grievous. from his seat he had fallen, and stretched abroad on the sea-shore. Broader and ever broader it gleamed on the roofs of the village. E’en as she spake they heard the musical jangle of sleigh-bells. Like the implacable soul of a chieftain slaughtered in battle. "Silenced, but not convinced, when the story was ended, the blacksmithStood like a man who fain would speak, but findeth no language;All his thoughts were congealed into lines on his face, as the vaporsFreeze in fantastic shapes on the window-panes in the winter. Speaking words of endearment where words of comfort availed not. Garlands of Spanish moss and of mystic mistletoe flaunted. Than our fathers in forts, besieged by the enemy's cannon. Birds of passage sailed through the leaden air, from the ice-bound. West and south there were fields of flax, and orchards and cornfields, Spreading afar and unfenced o'er the plain; and away to the northward, Blomidon rose, and the forests old, and aloft on the mountains, Sea-fogs pitched their tents, and mists from the mighty Atlantic, Looked on the happy valley, but ne'er from their station descended. And the streets still re-echo the names of the trees of the forest. Version: Java Edition … Blushing Evangeline heard the words that her father had spoken. Sounded the bell from its tower, and over the meadows a drum beat. When she had passed, it seemed like the ceasing of exquisite music. And they rode onward in silence, and entered the town with the others. Slowly at length she returned to the tenantless house of her father. Pleasantly rose next morn the sun on the village of Grand-Pré.Pleasantly gleamed in the soft, sweet air the Basin of Minas,the ships, with their wavering shadows, were riding at anchor.Life had long been astir in the village, and clamorous laborKnocked with its hundred hands at the golden gates of the morning.Now from the country around, from the farms and neighboring hamlets,Came in their holiday dresses the blithe Acadian peasants.Many a glad good-morrow and jocund laugh from the young folkMade the bright air brighter, as up from the numerous meadows,Where no path could be seen but the track of wheels in the greensward,Group after group appeared, and joined, or passed on the highway.Long ere noon, in the village all sounds of labor were silenced.Thronged were the streets with people; and noisy groups at the house-doorsSat in the cheerful sun, and rejoiced and gossiped together.Every house was an inn, where all were welcomed and feasted;For with this simple people, who lived like brothers together,All things were held in common, and what one had was another's.Yet under Benedict's roof hospitality seemed more abundant:For Evangeline stood among the guests of her father;Bright was her face with smiles, and words of welcome and gladnessFell from her beautiful lips, and blessed the cup as she gave it. Struggled together like foes in a burning city. Bucket, fastened with iron, and near it a trough for the horses. For her shy looks, and her careless words, and her evil surmisings. Fretted with sands and rocks, and swept by the wind of the desert. Long within had been spread the snow-white cloth on the table; There stood the wheaten loaf, and the honey fragrant with wild-flowers; There stood the tankard of ale, and the cheese fresh brought from the dairy; And, at the head of the board, the great arm-chair of the farmer. Gabriel truly is near thee; for not far away to the southward. Moved to the depths of her soul by pity and woman's compassion. There old Rene Leblanc had died; and when he departed. from his seat he had fallen, and stretched abroad on the sea-shoreMotionless lay his form, from which the soul had departed.Slowly the priest uplifted the lifeless head, and the maidenKnelt at her father's side, and wailed aloud in her terror.Then in a swoon she sank, and lay with her head on his bosom.Through the long night she lay in deep, oblivious slumber;And when she woke from the trance, she beheld a multitude near her.Faces of friends she beheld, that were mournfully gazing upon her,Pallid, with tearful eyes, and looks of saddest compassion.Still the blaze of the burning village illumined the landscape,Reddened the sky overhead, and gleamed on the faces around her,And like the day of doom it seemed to her wavering senses.Then a familiar voice she heard, as it said to the people,—"Let us bury him here by the sea. Under the open sky, in the odorous air of the orchard,Stript of its golden fruit, was spread the feast of betrothal.There in the shade of the porch were the priest and the notary seated;There good Benedict sat, and sturdy Basil the blacksmith.Not far withdrawn from these, by the cider-press and the beehives,Michael the fiddler was placed, with the gayest of hearts and of waistcoats.Shadow and light from the leaves alternately played on his snow-whiteHair, as it waved in the wind; and the jolly face of the fiddlerGlowed like a living coal when the ashes are blown from the embers.Gayly the old man sang to the vibrant sound of his fiddle,Tous les Bourgeois de Chartres, and Le Carillon de Dunkerque,And anon with his wooden shoes beat time to the music.Merrily, merrily whirled the wheels of the dizzying dancesUnder the orchard-trees and down the path to the meadows;Old folk and young together, and children mingled among them.Fairest of all the maids was Evangeline, Benedict's daughter!Noblest of all the youths was Gabriel, son of the blacksmith! Patient, full of importance, and grand in the pride of his instinct, Walking from side to side with a lordly air, and superbly. Sat astride on his nose, with a look of wisdom supernal. Lighted less by the lamp than the shining face of the maiden. Seemed to inundate her soul with indefinable longing; As, through the garden gate, and beneath the shade of the oak-trees. Laughed at each lucky hit, or unsuccessful manoeuver, Laughed when a man was crowned, or a breach was made in the king-row. While her mistress went on: ”The house is far from the village; We should be lonely here, were it not for Friends that in passing, Sometimes tarry o’ernight, and make us glad by their coming.”. Thus came the lovely spring with a rush of blossoms and music. thy God thus speaketh within thee! Ah! Far o'er the gable projected a roof of thatch; and a staircase. it is falling already;All the roads will be blocked, and I pity Joseph to-morrow,Breaking his way through the drifts, with his sled and oxen; and then, too,How in all the world shall we get to Meeting on First-Day?”. Mounted upon his horse, with Spanish saddle and stirrups. Then a familiar voice she heard, as it said to the people,—, "Let us bury him here by the sea.

'T was the returning tide, that afar from the waste of the ocean,With the first dawn of the day, came heaving and hurrying landward.Then recommenced once more the stir and noise of embarking;And with the ebb of the tide the ships sailed out of the harbor,Leaving behind them the dead on the shore, and the village in ruins. Crowded with masts and sails of vessels coming and going; Here there is nothing but pines, with patches of snow on their branches. Sometimes they saw, or thought they saw, the smoke of his camp-fire. with a summons sonorousSounded the bell from its tower, and over the meadows a drum beat.Thronged erelong was the church with men.

Nodded in bright array, like hollyhocks heavy with blossoms. Thronged erelong was the church with men. This poem is written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

Brighter than these, shone the faces of friends in the glimmering lamplight. All was silent within; and in vain at the door and the windows. yea, the winter is beautiful, surely. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks,Bearded with moss, and in garments green, indistinct in the twilight,Stand like Druids of eld, with voices sad and prophetic,Stand like harpers hoar, with beards that rest on their bosoms.Loud from its rocky caverns, the deep-voiced neighboring oceanSpeaks, and in accents disconsolate answers the wail of the forest.
