Excerpt from "paul revere's ride"
by henry wadsworth longfellow

then he climbed the tower of the old north church,
by the wooden stairs, with stealthy tread,
to the belfry chamber overhead,
and startled the pigeons from their perch
on the somber rafters, that round him made
masses and moving shapes of shade,—
by the trembling ladder, steep and tall,
to the highest window in the wall,
where he paused to listen and look down
a moment on the roofs of the town,
and the moonlight flowing over all.
