Explore "The Wreck of the Hesperus" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
It was the schooner Hesperus, / That sailed the wintry sea; / And the skipper had taken his little daughter, / To bear him company.
Blue were her eyes as the fairy-flax, / Her cheeks like the dawn of day, / And her bosom white as the hawthorn buds, / That ope in the month of May.
