Wadsworth Longfellow

Famous quotes containing the words wadsworth longfellow, wadsworth and/or longfellow:

    Toiling,—rejoicing,—sorrowing,
    Onward through life he goes;
    Each morning sees some task begin,
    Each evening sees its close;
    Something attempted, something done,
    Has earned a night’s repose.

    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

    A wind came up out of the sea,
    And said, “O mists, make room for me.”
