| Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882). Complete Poetical Works. 1893. | | | | In the Harbor | | Sundown |
| | | THE SUMMER sun is sinking low; | |
| Only the tree-tops redden and glow: | |
| Only the weathercock on the spire | |
| Of the neighboring church is a flame of fire | |
| All is in shadow below. | 5 |
| |
| O beautiful, awful summer day, | |
| What hast thou given, what taken away? | |
| Life and death, and love and hate, | |
| Homes made happy or desolate, | |
| Hearts made sad or gay! | 10 |
| |
| On the road of life one mile-stone more! | |
| In the book of life one leaf turned o’er! | |
| Like a red seal is the setting sun | |
| On the good and the evil men have done,— | |
| Naught can to-day restore! | 15 | | | |
