Additional quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Read from some humbler poet,
Whose songs gushed from his heart,
As showers from the clouds of summer,
Or tears from the eyelids start.

Silently one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven,
Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels.

Stay, stay at home, my heart and rest;
Home-keeping hearts are happiest.

And yet, through the gloom and the light, The fate of a nation was riding that night. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
