"Decoration Day" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

[@thegrandmasabrina]

Wow! I've been familiar with the works of Longfellow my entire life. I've owned a book of his poetry even. however, this video is the first time I had ever heard of the poem Decoration Day. I stumbled onto it while trying to read up on Decoration Day in terms of Memorial Day traditions. So glad I found it. And now having this poem on hand will become part of my personal Memorial Day tradition and observation.
