Explore "A Summer Day by the Sea" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The sun is set; and in his latest beams / Yon little cloud of ashen gray and gold, / Slowly upon the amber air unrolled, / The falling mantle of the Prophet seems. / From the dim headlands many a lighthouse gleams, / The street-lamps of the ocean; and behold, / O'erhead the banners of the night unfold; / The day hath passed into the land of dreams. / O summer day beside the joyous sea! / O summer day so wonderful and white, / So full of gladness and so full of pain! / Forever and forever shalt thou be / To some the gravestone of a dead delight, / To some the landmark of a new domain.
