Longfellow

Famous quotes containing the word longfellow:

“Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

“I heard the bells, on Christmas Day,
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

“It whispered to the fields of corn,
“Bow down, and hail the coming morn.”

It shouted through the belfry tower,
“Awake, O bell! proclaim the hour.”

It crossed the churchyard with a sigh,
And said, “Not yet! in quiet lie.””
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
