So Perfect for Parties - Even Longfellow thought the wedding should be in Killingworth! Henry Wadsworth Longfellow "The Birds of Killingworth" | |
|
"Think every
morning when the sun peeps through The dim leaf-latticed windows of the grove, How jubilant the happy birds renew Their old melodious madrigals of love! |
|
|
"And when you think of this,
remember too, Tis always morning somewhere, and above The awakening continents, from shore to shore, Somewhere birds are singing evermore.... |
|
|
"But blither still
and louder carolled they | |
|
"When
the Preceptor bore his bride away, Their songs burst forth in joyous overflow, And a new heaven bent over a new earth Amid the sunny farms of Killingworth" |
