Explore "The Jewish Cemetery at Newport" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
How strange it seems! These Hebrews in their graves, / Close by the street of this fair seaport town, / Silent beside the never-silent waves, / At rest in all this moving up and down!
The trees are white with dust, that o'er their sleep / Wave their broad curtains in the south-wind's breath, / While underneath such leafy tents they keep / The long, mysterious Exodus of Death.
