About the poet

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)
was an American poet and educator. His poetry is
known for it’s lyrical quality, song-like features and
distinct musicality. He often used folk and mythical
stories as material for his poetry. He also did
translation from Spanish and Italian into English.
A wind came up out of
the sea,
And said , ’O mists, make
room for me’.
It hailed the ships, and
cried,
‘Sail on,
Ye mariners, the night is
gone.’
And hurried landwards far
away,
Crying, ‘Awake! It is the
day.’
It said unto the forest,
‘Shout!
Hang all your leafy banners
out!’
It touched the woodbird’s
folded wing,
And said, ‘O bird,
awake
and sing.’
And o’er the farms,
‘O chanticleer,
Your clarion blown; the day
is near.’
It whispered to the fields
of corn,
‘Bow down, and hail the
coming morn.’
It shouted through the
belfry-tower,
‘Awake, O bell!
proclaim the hour.
It crossed the
churchyard with a
sigh,
And said, ‘Not
yet! In quiet lie.’
Find the opposites of the following
from the poem.
