American Poets.

Topics: classic

Like fruit that's large and ripe and mellow,             Sweet and luscious is Longfellow,             Melodious songs he oft did pour             And high was his Excelsior.             He shows in his Psalm of Life             The folly of our selfish strife,             With Hiawatha we bewail             His suffering in great Indian tale.             Indian nation was forlorn             Till great spirit planted corn;             His story of Evangeline             It is a tale of love divine.
