1. I just read that Longfellow wrote this during the Civil War
I'm familiar with this poem from my childhood (grandma was very into Longfellow and Wordsworth) but didn't know that little tidbit about it, or that his son had been severely wounded in the war. Makes the words all the more poignant, and appropriate for these times as well. Thank you for sharing it. :hi:
