so-soWow, that took over a year to finish all of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow‘s poems! Reading intermittently, that is. I enjoy his style. It was old-fashioned in his time, but he had interesting subjects. I do think the hype about The Song of Hiawatha was justified. He did a lot of translations that I kind of skimmed through.
“Of the past the old man‘s thoughts were, And the maiden‘s of the future.” Love that line.
A poem about renewed hope. Though rain is sometimes associated with gloom, this poem tells us that sometimes there are rough patches in our lives, but these will soon pass, and things will be #rightasrain again.
...‘Into each life some rain must fall.‘
💙 this line, this poem.
