Wadsworth

Famous quotes containing the word wadsworth:

    There is a mountain in the distant West
    That, sun-defying, in its deep ravines
    Displays a cross of snow upon its side.
    Such is the cross I wear upon my breast
    These eighteen years, through all the changing scenes
    And seasons, changeless since the day she died.
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    Out of the bosom of the Air,
    Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken,
    Over the woodlands brown and bare,
    Over the harvest-fields forsaken,
    Silent, and soft, and slow
    Descends the snow.
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    There the wrinkled old Nokomis
    Nursed the little Hiawatha,
    Rocked him in his linden cradle,
    Bedded softin moss and rushes,
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
