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

Well, poets have
heart but lack brains.

He is the song of Hiawatha.

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
