The Aged Stranger

"The Aged Stranger" is a poem by Francis Bret Harte, which was recorded by LibriVox volunteers in December 2008. The poem tells the story of an old man who arrives in a small town and captivates the townspeople with his wisdom and kind heart. As the townspeople grow to admire and respect the stranger, they begin to realize that he may not be just an ordinary man. With its themes of wisdom, kindness, and mystery, "The Aged Stranger" is a poignant and thought-provoking work that will leave readers feeling inspired and reflective."
