Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
LONGFELLOW, Henry Wadsworth (1807-1882). Autograph quotation signed ("Henry W. Longfellow"), [n.p.] 18 March 1857 [With:] integral autograph note signed in the third person ("Mr. Longfellow") to "Miss Babbitt," [n.p., 18 March 1857].
Two pages, bifolium 110 x 178, with inscription on the interior leaf (light toning, mounting remnants on verso) With the original transmittal envelope (66 x 118mm) addressed in his hand.
Unpublished verse by Longfellow. Sent along to "Miss Babbitt" with "his compliments … and regrets that absence from town has prevented him from sooner attending to her request." The "request" was for a few lines from the poet, who complied by writing the following four lines: "In one brief Summer grow the lyric sheaves, That feed the hungry heart from day to day; / But epic oaks, loud with mysterious leaves, / Take years to grow, and centuries to decay."
