Henry Wadsworth Longfellow c
c Out of the night that covers me,
ccaell me not in mournful numbers, Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
Life is but an empty dream! I thank whatever gods may be
For the soul is dead that slumbers, For my unconquerable soul.
And things are not what they seem.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
Life is real! Life is earnest! I have not winced nor cried aloud.
And the grave is not its goal; Under the bludgeonings of chance
Dust thou are, to dust thou returnest, My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Was not spoken of the soul.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Looms but the Horror of the shade,
Is our destined end or way; And yet the menace of the years
But to act, that each tomorrow Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
Find us farther than today.
It matters not how strait the gate,
Art is long, and aime is fleeting, How charged with punishments the scroll.
And our hearts, though stout and brave, I am the master of my fate
Still, like muffled drums, are beating I am the captain of my soul.
Funeral marches to the grave.
Lives of great men all remind us ahen took the other, as just as fair,
We can make our lives sublime, And having perhaps the better claim
And, departing, leave behind us Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Footprints on the sand of time; ahough as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solenm main, And both that morning equally lay
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, In leaves no step had trodden black.
Seeing, shall take heart again. Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
Let us then be up and doing, I doubted if I should ever come back.
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing, I shall be telling this with a sigh
Learn to labor and to wait. Somewhere ages and ages hence:
awo roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
c
And that has made all the difference
