More from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Never here, forever there, Where all parting, pain, and care, And death, and time shall disappear,— Forever there, but never here! The horologe of Eternity Sayeth this incessantly,—
She floats upon the river of his thoughts.
Stars of the summer night! Far in yon azure deeps, Hide, hide your golden light! She sleeps! My lady sleeps!
Music is the universal language of mankind — poetry their universal pastime and delight.
Dreams of the summer night! Tell her, her lover keeps Watch! while in slumbers light She sleeps.
I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where.
