Explore "The Warden of the Cinque Ports" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A mist was driving down the British Channel, / The day was just begun, / And through the window-panes, on floor and panel, / Streamed the red autumn sun.
It glanced on flowing flag and rippling pennon, / And the white sails of ships; / And, from the frowning rampart, the black cannon / Hailed it with feverish lips.
