The Song of the Stone Wall

The Song of the Stone Wall is a poem written by American political activist Helen Keller and the first deaf-blind person to get a Bachelors degree. Her autobiography "The story of my life" is her most widely read and one of the best selling book for all along the years.

Author's Preface:

When I began The Song of the Stone Wall, Dr. Edward Everett Hale was still among us, and it was my intention to dedicate the poem to him if it should be deemed worthy of publication. I fancied that he would like it; for he loved the old walls and the traditions that cling about them.

Thoughts like these were often in my mind as the poem grew and took form. It is fitting, therefore, that I should dedicate it to him, and in so doing I give expression to the love and reverence which I have felt for him ever since he called me his little cousin, more than twenty years ago.
