Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on Ships
← Back to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Profile
“And the wind plays on those great sonorous harps, the shrouds and masts of ships.”
“Build me straight, O worthy Master! Staunch and strong, a goodly vessel That shall laugh at all disaster, And with wave and whirlwind wrestle!”
“There's not a ship that sails the ocean, But every climate, every soil, Must bring its tribute, great or small, And help to build the wooden wall!”
