SAIL FORTH LONGFELLOW FULL
When the full river of feeling overflows. In this poem, Longfellow reflects nostalgically on his lost youth in America. The pleasant streets of that dear old town,Īnd the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.’ There is no escape from dreary thoughts or dreary weather, it would seem. This brings the stanza back to where it started, but not simply by virtue of finding a rhyme for ‘dreary’: instead, ‘dreary’ is rhymed against itself, in a feature which I propose we call the ‘homorhyme’ (which is different from rime riche in that identical words, rather than mere homophones, are paired with each other). Longfellow deftly conveys the cyclical nature of suffering – something it shares with the weather – through his rhyme scheme, which is aabba in the first two stanzas. The phrase ‘into each life some rain must fall’ has become famous, and it originated in this poem, which beautifully captures the misery and dreariness of a day when the rain never lets up. The vine still clings to the mouldering wall, The river carries important memories for Longfellow – memories of important friends he has known – and this is one reason why he eulogises it here in this less famous poem. In ‘To the River Charles’, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-82), who is best known as the author of Hiawatha, praises the Charles river in Massachusetts. The poet composing a ‘song’ or poem is much like the archer shooting his arrow: the poet doesn’t know where his words will take root. The poet shoots an arrow into the air, but doesn’t know where it lands. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.Bearing some formal and thematic similarities to William Blake’s ‘A Poison Tree’, this short Longfellow poem – its three stanzas are reproduced above – has the force of a parable.
