Henry Wadsworth Longfellow,
Suggestive programs for special day exercises…
(1898)
“ Do you think, O blue-eyed banditti. Because you have scaled the wall. Such an old mustache as I am Is not a match for you all! I have you fast in my fortress. And will not let you depart. But put you down into the dungeon In the round-tower of my heart. And there will I keep you forever, Yes, forever and a day, Till the walls shall crumble to ruin, And moulder in dust away! This work was published before January 1, 1928, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago. ”
