O summer day beside the joyous sea!  
  O summer day so wonderful and white,  
  So full of gladness and so full of pain!  
  Forever and forever shalt thou be  
  To some the gravestone of a dead delight,  
  To some the landmark of a new domain.
The poetical works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Author's pocket-vol. ed (ed. 1878)
