A Psalm of Life by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - American Poets

6 months ago
55

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 – 1882) was an American poet.
He wrote his poem “A Psalm of Life” in 1838.
Longfellow argues against some of the religious views, particularly that earthly life is less important than eternal life after death.
Rather, one should seize the day and live in the present—neither dwelling on the past, nor taking the future for granted, nor worrying too much about death.
--
Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream !

For the soul is dead that slumbers.
And things are not what they seem.

Life is real ! Life is earnest !

And the grave is not its goal ;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
