Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: The morrow was a bright September morn; The earth was beautiful as if newborn;

The morrow was a bright September morn;
The earth was beautiful as if newborn;
There was nameless splendor everywhere,
That wild exhilaration in the air,
Which makes the passers in the city street
Congratulate each other as they meet.
