Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou are, to dust thou returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou are, to dust thou returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.

Accomplished the poetry square with these Longfellow poems a year in the reading.

Wow, 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.
