Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
American poet and edudcator, works include Paul Revere's Ride, The

“All things must change to something new.”
“Being all fashioned of the same dust,
Let us be merciful as well as just.”
“Among the noblest in the land –
Though man may count himself the least –
That man I honor and revere,
Who without favor, without fear,
In the great city dares to stand,
The friend of every friendless beast.”
