Explore "The Song of the Stone Wall" by Helen Keller on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
/ Come walk with me, and I will tell / What I have read in this scroll of stone; / I will spell out this writing on hill and meadow. / It is a chronicle wrought by praying workmen, / The forefathers of our nation -- / Leagues upon leagues of sealed history awaiting an interpreter. / This is New England's tapestry of stone / Alive with memories that throb and quiver / At the core of the ages / As the prophecies of old at the heart of God's Word.
The walls have many things to tell me, / And the days are long. I come and listen: / My hand is upon the stones, and the tale I fain would hear / Is of the men who built the walls, / And of the God who made the stones and the workers.
