Poetry Discussion: A Psalm of Life by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Today we look at "A Psalm of Life" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Longfellow was part of a group of poets classified as the Fireside Poets - a group of American poets known for their popular poems that followed conventional poetic forms and were thus easy to memorize and recite in the classroom and in the home (in front of the fire). Read more about the Fireside Poets here.
