Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Poems

The forms that once have been.
...

Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

Critics are sentinels in the grand army of letters, stationed at the corners of newspapers and reviews, to challenge every new author.
