“Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
"Life is but an empty dream!"”

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow A Psalm of Life

For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
St. 1.
A Psalm of Life (1839)

“The warriors that fought for their country, and bled,
Have sunk to their rest; the damp earth is their bed;
No stone tells the place where their ashes repose,
Nor points out the spot from the graves of their foes.

They died in their glory, surrounded by fame,
And Victory's loud trump their death did proclaim;
They are dead; but they live in each Patriot's breast,
And their names are engraven on honor's bright crest.”

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
