Explore "The Belfry of Bruges" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In the market-place of Bruges stands the belfry old and brown; / Thrice consumed and thrice rebuilded, still it watches o'er the town.
As the summer morn was breaking, on that lofty tower I stood, / And the world threw off the darkness, like the weeds of widowhood.
