    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) was an American poet. Born in Portland, Maine, Longfellow excelled in reading and writing from a young age, becoming fluent in Latin as an adolescent and publishing his first poem at the age of thirteen. In 1822, Longfellow enrolled at Bowdoin College, where he formed a lifelong friendship with Nathaniel Hawthorne and published poems and stories in local magazines and newspapers. Graduating in 1825, Longfellow was offered a position at Bowdoin as a professor of modern languages before embarking on a journey throughout Europe. He returned home in 1829 to begin teaching and working as the college’s librarian. During this time, he began working as a translator of French, Italian, and Spanish textbooks, eventually publishing a translation of Jorge Manrique, a major Castilian poet of the fifteenth century. In 1836, after a period abroad and the death of his wife Mary, Longfellow accepted a professorship at Harvard, where he taught modern languages while writing the poems that would become Voices of the Night (1839), his debut collection. That same year, Longfellow published Hyperion: A Romance, a novel based partly on his travels and the loss of his wife. In 1843, following a prolonged courtship, Longfellow married Fanny Appleton, with whom he would have six children. That decade proved fortuitous for Longfellow’s life and career, which blossomed with the publication of Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie (1847), an epic poem that earned him a reputation as one of America’s leading writers and allowed him to develop the style that would flourish in The Song of Hiawatha (1855). But tragedy would find him once more. In 1861, an accident led to the death of Fanny and plunged Longfellow into a terrible depression. Although unable to write original poetry for several years after her passing, he began work on the first American translation of Dante’s Divine Comedy and increased his public support of abolitionism. Both steeped in tradition and immensely popular, Longfellow’s poetry continues to be read and revered around the world.

      The Three Kings

      (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)

      Table of Contents

      Three Kings came riding from far away,

      Melchior and Gaspar and Baltasar;

      Three Wise Men out of the East were they,

      And they travelled by night and they slept by day,

      For their guide was a beautiful, wonderful star.

      The star was so beautiful, large, and clear,

      That all the other stars of the sky

      Became a white mist in the atmosphere,

      And by this they knew that the coming was near

      Of the Prince foretold in the prophecy.

      Three caskets they bore on their saddle-bows,

      Three caskets of gold with golden keys;

      Their robes were of crimson silk with rows

      Of bells and pomegranates and furbelows,

      Their turbans like blossoming almond-trees.

      And so the Three Kings rode into the West,

      Through the dusk of night, over hill and dell,

      And sometimes they nodded with beard on breast

      And sometimes talked, as they paused to rest,

      With the people they met at some wayside well.

      Of the child that is born, said Baltasar,

      "Good people, I pray you, tell us the news;

      For we in the East have seen his star,

      And have ridden fast, and have ridden far,

      To find and worship the King of the Jews."

      And the people answered, "You ask in vain;

      We know of no king but Herod the Great!"

      They thought the Wise Men were men insane,

      As they spurred their horses across the plain,

      Like riders in haste, and who cannot wait.

      And when they came to Jerusalem,

      Herod the Great, who had heard this thing,

      Sent for the Wise Men and questioned them;

      And said, "Go down unto Bethlehem,

      And bring me tidings
