XVII.—A PSALM OF LIFE.
LONGFELLOW.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was born at Portland, Maine, in 1807. He is one of the most popular of living poets.
1. Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
2. Life is real! Life is earnest!
