Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes
Like Unto Ships Far Off At Sea, Outward Or Homeward Bound, Are We. Before, Behind, And All Around, Floats And Swings The Horizons Bound, Seems At Its Distant Rim To Rise And Climb The Crystal Wall Of The Skies, And Then Again To Turn And Sink, As If We Could Slide From Its Outer Brink. Ah! It Is Not The Sea, It Is Not The Sea That Sinks And Shelves, But Ourselves That Rock And Rise With Endless And Uneasy Motion, Now Touching The Very Skies, Now Sinking Into The Depths Of Ocean. Ah! If Our Souls But Poise And Swing Like The Compass In Its Brazen Ring, Ever Level And Ever True To The Toil And The Task We Have To Do, We Shall Sail Securely, And Safely Reach The Fortunate Isles, On Whose Shining Beach The Sights We See, And The Sounds We Hear, Will Be Those Of Joy And Not Of Fear!
