Book Description
Excerpt from The Sailing of King Olaf, and Other Poems What is your art, o poet? Only to catch and to hold In a poor, frail world-mould A little of life; That the soul to whom you show it May say: "With truth it is rife, This poem - I lived it of old." Ah, the light wherein we read Must be the light of the past, Or your poem is nothing at best But an empty rhyme. And to summon back grief what need Of word of yours? - through all time It abides with us to the last. Sing to us of joy, then. Borrow Of life its happiest hours. Sing of love and hope, of flowers, Of laughter and smiles; But not too oft of sorrow! - The song that our grief beguiles Is the best, in this world of ours.

Book Description
Excerpt from Scenes From the Saga of King Olaf Then his cruisings O'er the seas, Westward to the Hebrides, And to Scilly's rocky shore And the hermit's cavern dismal, Christ's great name and rites baptismal, In the Ocean's rush and roar.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Sailing of the Long-Ships and Other Poems Though all the world forbade them, they counted not nor cared, They weighed not help or hindrance, they did the thing they dared. The Sea-kings loved not boasting, cursed not him that cursed, They honored all men duly, and him faced them, first; They strove and knew not hatred, smote and toiled to save, They tended whom they vanquished.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Legend of St. Olaf's Kirk Thereby it came That Friar Knud, the tutor of the Prince, Was bidden to teach its use; and week by week With lessening weariness and growing love Her deft hands learned to chase the melody From string to string through mazy harmonies, Until the instrument, jealous at first And obstinate, became a willing slave, Seemed part of her, and Valborg and her harp Were mouthpiece of the household. Winter nights When weary with long sloth the roisterers lounged About the men's-hall, yawning for clear sky, Sudden the clamor of their tongues would cease, The air grow clearer so the rafters came In sight, and from them, like a summer rain TO dry and pinched-up herbage, softly fall The warm, sweet restfulness Of voice and strings.

Book Description
No American writer of the nineteenth century was more universally enjoyed and admired than Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. His works were extraordinary bestsellers for their era, achieving fame both here and abroad. Now, for the first time in over twenty-five years, The Library of America offers a full-scale literary portrait of America’s greatest popular poet. Here are the poems that created an American mythology: Evangeline in the forest primeval, Hiawatha by the shores of Gitche Gumee, the midnight ride of Paul Revere, the wreck of the Hesperus, the village blacksmith under the spreading chestnut tree, the strange courtship of Miles Standish, the maiden Priscilla and the hesitant John Alden; verses like “A Psalm of Life” and “The Children’s Hour,” whose phrases and characters have become part of the culture. Here as well, along with the public antislavery poems, are the sparer, darker lyrics—"The Fire of Drift-Wood," “Mezzo Cammin,” “Snow-Flakes,” and many others—that show a more austere aspect of Longfellow’s poetic gift. Erudite and fluent in many languages, Longfellow was endlessly fascinated with the byways of history and the curiosities of legend. As a verse storyteller he had no peer, whether in the great book-length narratives such as Evangeline and The Song of Hiawatha (both included in full) or the stories collected in Tales of a Wayside Inn (reprinted here in a generous selection). His many poems on literary themes, such as his moving homages to Dante and Chaucer, his verse translations from Lope de Vega, Heinrich Heine, and Michelangelo, and his ambitious verse dramas, notably The New England Tragedies (also complete), are remarkable in their range and ambition. As a special feature, this volume restores to print Longfellow’s novel Kavanagh, a study of small-town life and literary ambition that was praised by Emerson as an important contribution to the development of American fiction. A selection of essays rounds out of the volume and provides testimony of Longfellow’s concern with creating an American national literature. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation’s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America’s best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.
