Quotes

When thou are not pleased, beloved, Then my heart is sad and darkened, As the shining river darkens. When the clouds drop shadows on it! When thou smilest, my beloved, Then my troubled heart is brightened, As in sunshine gleam the ripples. That the cold wind makes in rivers. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Sweet as the tender fragrance that survives, When martyred flowers breathe out their little lives, Sweet as a song that once consoled our pain, But never will be sung to us again, Is they remembrance. Now the hour of rest. Hath come to thee. Sleep, darling: it is best. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Let us labor for an inward stillness--An inward stillness and an inward healing. That perfect silence where the lips and heart. Are still, and we no longer entertain. Our own imperfect thoughts and vain opinions, But God alone speaks to us and we wait. In singleness of heart that we may know. His will, and in the silence of our spirits, That we may do His will and do that only Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

And in despair I bowed my head;"There is no peace on earth," I said;"For hate is strong, And mocks the song. Of peace on earth, good-will to men!"Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:"God is not dead, nor doth he sleep! The Wrong shall fail, the Right prevail, With peace on earth, good-will to men! Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Thus thought I, as by night I read. Of the great army of the dead, The trenches cold and damp, The starved and frozen camp,--The wounded from the battle-plain, In dreary hospitals of pain, The cheerless corridors, The cold and stony floors. Lo! in that house of misery. A lady with a lamp I see. Pass through the glimmering gloom. And flit from room to room. And slow, as in a dream of bliss, The speechless sufferer turns to kiss. Her shadow, as it falls. Upon the darkening walls. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
