Shadow longfellow bk
A SHADOW by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow read for LibriVox.org by Bruce Gachuck I said unto myself if I were dead, what would befall these children? What would be their fate, who now are looking up to me for help and furtherance? Their lives, I said, would be of volume wherein I have read but the first chapters, and no
longer see to read the rest of their dear history, so full of beauty and so full of dread. Be comforted, the world is very old and generations pass as they have passed, a troop of shadows moving with the sun. Thousands of times has the old tale been told, the world belongs to those who come the last.
They will find hope and strength as we have done.
