Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes

Death Takes Us By Surprise,
And Stays Our Hurrying Feet;
The Great Design Unfinished Lies,
Our Lives Are Incomplete
But In The Dark Unknown,
Perfect Their Circles Seem,
Even As A Bridge's Arch Of Stone
Is Rounded In The Stream.
Alike Are Life And Death,
When Life In Death Survives,
And The Uninterrupted Breath
Inspires A Thousand Lives.
Were A Star Quenched On High,
For Ages Would Its Light,
Still Traveling Downward From The Sky,
Shine On Our Mortal Sight.
So When A Great Man Dies,
For Years Beyond Our Ken,
The Light He Leaves Behind Him Lies
Upon The Paths Of Men.
