Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The Wreck of the Hesperus
He wrapped her warm in his seaman’s coat
Against the stinging blast
The Village Blacksmith
And children coming home from school
Look in at the open door
Evangeline
Homeward serenely she walked with God’s benediction upon her.
When she had passed, it seemed like the ceasing of exquisite music
Hiawatha’s Fishing
And he dropped his line of cedar
Through the clear, transparent water
The Building of the Ship
The sun shone on her golden hair,
And her cheek was glowing fresh and fair
The Castle-Builder
A castle-builder, with his wooden blocks,
And towers that touch imaginary skies
Paul Revere’s Ride
A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door
The Building of the Long Serpent
“Men shall hear of Thorberg Skafting
For a hundred year!”
