Let me go, Mr. Longfellow.

years to convince you

00:10:16,398 --> 00:10:17,921
that you love me.

191
00:10:17,965 --> 00:10:20,358
I am never letting you go.

Well, at least put on your coat.

once said, "love withstands

the cold better than a cloak."

Well, poets have
heart but lack brains.

He is the belfry of Bruges.

356
00:20:35,321 --> 00:20:40,848
He is New England's very own

But even Henry Longfellow cannot
stay those bitter tears when it

365
00:21:07,091 --> 00:21:11,313
comes to the sin of
slavery in our land.

366
00:21:11,357 --> 00:21:14,316
Longfellow's poems on
slavery have helped
