“A gleam of Sunshine / Longfellow. / This the place. Stand still, my steed / Let me review the scene, / And summon from the shadowing past / The forms that once have been.”

Fuller, Margaret. "Mostly Extracts." Houghton Library, Harvard University; bMS Am 1086 (89); Box 5 (89).

Fuller's first line reads 'This the place' — likely a transcription error for 'Midst the place'
