Explore "Tales of a Wayside Inn" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In the convent of Drontheim, / Alone in her chamber / Knelt Astrid the Abbess, / At midnight, adoring, / Beseeching, entreating / The Virgin and Mother.
She heard in the silence / The voice of one speaking, / Without in the darkness, / In gusts of the night-wind / Now louder, now nearer, / Now lost in the distance.
