Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - The Four Princesses At Wilna. A PhotographHenry Wadsworth Longfellow - The Four Princesses At Wilna. A Photograph
Work rating: Low


Sweet faces, that from pictured casements lean   As from a castle window, looking down   On some gay pageant passing through a town,   Yourselves the fairest figures in the scene; With what a gentle grace, with what serene   Unconsciousness ye wear the triple crown   Of youth and beauty and the fair renown   Of a great name, that ne`er hath tarnished been! From your soft eyes, so innocent and sweet,   Four spirits, sweet and innocent as they,   Gaze on the world below, the sky above; Hark! there is some one singing in the street;   "Faith, Hope, and Love! these three," he seems to say;   "These three; and greatest of the three is Love."
