Breathe Quote by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“Sweet as the tender fragrance that survives, When martyred flowers breathe out their little lives, Sweet as a song that once consoled our pain, But never will be sung to us again, Is they remembrance. Now the hour of rest Hath come to thee. Sleep, darling: it is best.” quote by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
