"There was an old belief that in the embers Of all things their primordial form exists, And cunning alchemists Could re-create the rose with all its members From its own ashes, but without the bloom, Without the lost perfume Ah me! what wonder-working, occult science Can from the ashes in our hearts once more The rose of youth restore?What craft of alchemy can bid defiance To time and change, and for a single hour Renew this phantom-flower?"
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
"How Beautiful is the rain!After the dust and heat,In the broad and fiery street,In the narrow lane,How beautiful is the rain!How it clatters along the roofs,Like the tramp of hoofs!How it gushes and struggles out From the throat of the overflowing spout!Across the window-pane It pours and pours;And swift and wide,With a muddy tide,Like a river down the gutter roars The rain, the welcome rain!-"Rain in Summer"
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

"With favoring winds, o'er sunlit seas,We sailed for the Hesperides,The land where golden apples grow;But that, ah! that was long ago. How far, since then, the ocean streams Have swept us from that land of dreams,That land of fiction and of truth,The lost Atlantis of our youth!Whither, ah, whither? Are not these The tempest-haunted Orcades,Where sea-gulls scream, and breakers roar,And wreck and sea-weed line the shore?Ultima Thule! Utmost Isle!Here in thy harbors for a while We lower our sails; a while we rest From the unending, endless quest."
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
