1807 was born on February 27th in a lawyer's family in Portland, Maine. From 65438 to 0822, he entered Bodoin College. After graduation, he went to France, Spain, Italy and Germany to learn the languages and literature of these countries. From 65438 to 0836, he began to teach language and literature at Harvard University 18 years, devoted himself to introducing the works of European culture and romantic writers, and became an important figure in the literary and social circles of Cambridge, the cultural center of New England.
The first book of poetry, The Voice of the Night, was published in 1839, which contains famous lyric poems such as Ode to the Night, Ode to Life, and Starry Stars.
184 1 published a collection of poems "Ballads and Others", including story poems "Armored Skull" and "Death of Venus", as well as "Country Blacksmith" and "Climbing Higher" with simple philosophy in narrative. This poem is full of refinement, struggle and optimism. These two poems were all the rage on both sides of the Atlantic, and he became a famous poet from then on.
1845 published a collection of poems, The Bell Tower in bruch, etc., which was well received for its excellent works such as Arsenal in Springfield, Bridge, Fort in Nuremberg and Bell Tower in bruch.

Longfellow's main poems include three narrative long poems, or "popular epics": Ivan Jilin (1847), Song of Hai Warsaw and The Proposal of Miles standish (1858). 1854 resigned from Harvard University, specializing in creation. The following year, Song of Warsaw at Sea was published. This is a long poem carefully conceived by Indian legends, describing the heroic achievements of Indian leader Hai Warsaw in defeating the enemy all his life, and his important contributions in ending tribal melee, teaching people corn, cleaning rivers and eliminating diseases. This is the first epic describing Indians in the history of American literature, but the material of the poem mainly comes from Skur Kraft's works, and the author lacks direct life experience. The rhythm of this poem completely imitates the Finnish epic Ka Laivaara. Although it was appreciated by readers at that time, it was criticized by some critics in later generations. Longfellow and his wife spent 17 years in a quiet villa in craigie from 1843. 186 1 year, his wife was unfortunately killed by fire, which has always made him extremely sad. In order to get rid of the mental burden, he devoted himself to translating Dante's Divine Comedy and wrote six sonnets about Dante, which is his best poem. The Tales of Roadside Hostels (1863) generally imitates Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. The trilogy poetic drama named after Christ was completed on 1872.

Don't always sigh the past, it will never come back; Improve the present wisely. We must devote ourselves to the confusing future with a firm will that is not worried or afraid. Believe in yourself first, and others will believe you.
Poetry of life
-Young people's hearts.-What is a young people's heart?
Henry wadsworth longfellow's masterpiece.
The lyrics are spoken by the singer to the poet.
Don't say to me in a sad tone; Don't tell me in sad poems;
"Life is just a dream!" "Life is just an empty dream!"
The sleeping soul is dead, because the sleeping soul is dead,
The truth of the matter is different from the appearance. Things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is real! Life is real! Life is serious!
Its destination is by no means a barren grave; The grave is not its goal;
"You are dust, and you will return to dust", "You are dust, and you will return to dust,"
This refers to the body, not the soul. Not the soul.
Our destined goal and path are not enjoyment, nor sadness.
Not happiness, nor pain; Is our destined destination or road;
But action, every tomorrow, but action, every tomorrow.
Go beyond today and take a new step. Found that we were farther away than today.
Endless wisdom and art, time flies; Art is eternal, time is short,
Although this heart is brave and strong, our heart is strong and brave.
It's like a stuffy drum, beating in a muffled voice, and still, like a stuffy drum, beating.
Once again, send the funeral to the cemetery. The funeral marched to the grave.
In this vast world battlefield, in this vast world battlefield,
In this huge life camp; In the camp of life,
Don't be like the dumb animal that was driven away, don't be like the dumb cow that was driven away!
Be a war hero! Become a hero in the fight!
Don't count on the future, no matter how charming it is! Don't believe in the future, no matter how beautiful it is!
Bury the past forever! Let the dead past bury its dead!
Take action-make use of every day! Let's do it now!
Heart in the chest, God in the head! There is God in my heart!
Great man's life tells us: Great man's life reminds us.
We can live a noble life, we can make our life noble,
When we die and leave, leave us behind.
Leave footprints on the beach of time; Footprints on the beach of time;
Maybe we have a brother, footprints, maybe another one,
Sailing on the solemn sea of life, sailing on the solemn sea of life,
The ship sank in distress, and in a desperate moment, an abandoned and shipwrecked brother,
You will see this footprint and cheer up. See, will summon up courage again.
So, let's act, let's act,
Dare to bear any fate; With a heart for any fate;
Keep forging ahead, keep pursuing, and still pursue.
Learn to work and learn to wait. Learn to work and wait.
