A Summer Day by the Sea by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

A Summer Day by the Sea Annotated

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