Moods by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Moods Annotated

Oh that a Song would sing itself to me
&nbsp Out of the heart of Nature, or the heart
&nbsp Of man, the child of Nature, not of Art,
&nbspFresh as the morning, salt as the salt sea,
With just enough of bitterness to be
&nbsp A medicine to this sluggish mood, and start
&nbsp The life-blood in my veins, and so impart
&nbsp Healing and help in this dull lethargy!
Alas! not always doth the breath of song
&nbsp Breathe on us. It is like the wind that bloweth
&nbsp At its own will, not ours, nor tarries long;
We hear the sound thereof, but no man knoweth
&nbsp From whence it comes, so sudden and swift and strong,
&nbsp Nor whither in its wayward course it goeth.
