Funeral marches to the grave.

Additional quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Every great poem is in itself limited by necessity, — but in its suggestions unlimited and infinite.

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
"Life is but an empty dream!" For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.

There was a little girl,
Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good,
She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

Art is long, and Time is fleeting, And our hearts, though stout and brave, Still, like muffled drums, are beating Funeral marches to the grave. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
