Analysis of The old North Church

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



The old North Church.

I watch with an eager search. I can see the belfry tower of the old North Church. As it rose above the graves on the hill. Lonely, spectral, and still. I look and can see the belfry's height. I see the glimmer and gleam of the light as I look into the night. What an awesome sight! Then I can see a lamp in the belfry that burns brightly. I think I'll stay for the night under the belfry height.
