March
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
1807 to 1882
I Martius am! Once first, and now the third!
To lead the Year was my appointed place;
A mortal dispossessed me by a word,
And set there Janus with the double face.
Hence I make war on all the human race;
I shake the cities with my hurricanes;
I flood the rivers and their banks efface,
And drown the farms and hamlets with my rains.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's March
I am busy working to bring Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "March" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "March" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
