Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Labour with what zeal we will,
Something still remains undone,
Something uncompleted still
Waits the rising of the sun.
--from "Something Left Undone"


From his youthful works to his final, mature poems, the breadth and beauty of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poetry is on display in this wonderful compilation. "A Psalm of Life," which opens the collection, comes from Longfellow's very first book, while "L'Envoi" captures the chill feel of oncoming death. Also included are the ever-popular "Evangeline," "The Song of Hiawatha," "The Wreck of the Hesperus," and more.

"This edition first published by Everyman in 1996"--T.p. verso.

Includes chronology and times of Wadsworth's life.
