Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes About Silver

Quotes about: Silver

• Oh, how beautiful is the summer night, which is not night, but a sunless, yet unclouded, day, descending upon earth with dews and shadows and refreshing coolness! How beautiful the long mild twilight, which, like a silver clasp, unites today with yesterday!

  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

  Beautiful, Summer, Twilight

  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1854). “Poems. New edition”, p.410

• Torrent of light and river of air,
  Along whose bed the glimmering stars are seen,
  Like gold and silver sands in some ravine
  Where mountain streams have left their channels bare!

  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

  Stars, Science, Rivers

• There is a beautiful spirit breathing now Its mellowed richness on the clustered trees, And, from a beaker full of richest dyes, Pouring new glory on the autumn woods, And dipping in warm light the pillared clouds. Morn on the mountain, like a summer bird, Lifts up her purple wing, and in the vales The gentle wind, a sweet and passionate wooer, Kisses the blushing leaf, and stirs up life Within the solemn woods of ash deep-crimsoned, And silver beech, and maple yellow-leaved, Where Autumn, like a faint old man, sits down By the wayside a-weary.

  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

  Beautiful, Summer, Sweet

• Gorgeous flowerets in the sunlight shining, Blossoms flaunting in the eye of day, Tremulous leaves, with soft and silver lining, Buds that open only to decay.

  Eye, Shining, Bud
