Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on Song
← Back to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Profile
“The song on its mighty pinions Took every living soul, and lifted it gently to heaven.”
“Listen to that song, and learn it! Half my kingdom would I give, As I live, If by such songs you would earn it!”
“Such songs have power to quiet The restless pulse of care, And come like the benediction That follows after prayer.”
