The past and present here untie. Nicely written and well communicated
(A Gleam Of Sunshine by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow) **A genius of a poet. I'm mesmerized by Longfellow's reflections upon these, such priceless moments.
Longfellow at his best. This is masterpiece - beautiful, stunning, marvelous, breath-taking; with a rhyme and rhythm that sounds like melody from the heavens upon mortal eyes and ears. Cannot define how I feel at reading this. But it inspires the wayward poet in me to write on. May his verses continue to enlighten beautiful souls.
I have a fondness for verses that flow so melodiously, for words that paint wonderful scenery, for a heart that loves those around him, , for all that is good in poetry.
The flow of this beautiful poem is captivating. Thanks for sharing it here.
Sentimental? Yes. Do I care? No. This poem is lovely in all ways that a poem can be lovely.
A sort of poem i wish should not have an ending. Gripping! !
Very nice. Longfellow was a master of his craft and did a splendid job here.
