The Psalmist, part 1

This is the first stanza of “A Psalm of Life”, by American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882). It is often subtitled “What the Heart of the Young Man Said to the Psalmist.” The poem is meant to inspire its readers to live actively, and to not regret the past, or to take the future for granted; “Be a hero in the strife!”
