AQS by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on an off-white 6.5 x 4 sheet that is signed below in ink, “Henry W. Longfellow, Jan. 19, 1880.” Longfellow beautifully pens the last stanza of his 1844 poem ‘The Day Is Done,’ in full: “The night shall be filled with music, / And the cares, that infest the day, / Shall fold their tents like the Arabs, / And as silently steal away.” The quote is affixed to a 7.25 x 10 sheet, the reverse of which bears an affixed signature of fellow fireside poet William Cullen Bryant. In fine condition. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem ‘The Day Is Done’ was first published as an introduction to an anthology of poems he compiled, entitled The Waif.
