CHILDREN - Chapter Summary

English 9th class Chapter "CHILDREN"

Henry Longfellow appreciates children in his poem. They are the sunshine to our life. They make us happy and cheerful. If there had been no children the world would have become a desert. Children are like birds that are always happy. The poet was sad thinking of his death. However, he forgot all his worries in the company of the children. The poet calls the children living poems. The gladness of their looks and their caresses have no match. In short, all the happiness in the world is due to children. There can be no life and no charm in life without children.
