" "
Thine was the prophet's vision, thine

Till all that it foresees it finds
Or what it can not find creates.

Additional quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.

A torn jacket is soon mended; but hard words bruise the heart of a child.

God sent his Singers upon earth
With songs of sadness and of mirth,
That they might touch the hearts of men,
And bring them back to heaven again.
