Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - Changed. (Birds Of Passage. Flight The Third)Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - Changed. (Birds Of Passage. Flight The Third)
Work rating: Low


From the outskirts of the town   Where of old the mile-stone stood, Now a stranger, looking down I behold the shadowy crown   Of the dark and haunted wood. Is it changed, or am I changed?   Ah! the oaks are fresh and green, But the friends with whom I ranged Through their thickets are estranged   By the years that intervene. Bright as ever flows the sea,   Bright as ever shines the sun, But alas! they seem to me Not the sun that used to be,   Not the tides that used to run.
