In his best known poems, Longfellow created myths and classic epics from American historical events and materials he reminded Americans pf the their roots and in the process an American icon himself.
At Daybreak a wind rises from sea. It receives the meassag of the morning and starts to blow. It takes up a duty to spread the news. The heavy mists obstruct the wind. But wind is determined to blow.
It is in haste and wants to make all awake. So it requests the mists not to obstruct it. It first sees the ships anchored. But they should be set free from their anchors as the sun rises and darkness is over.
The wind reminds the mariners to undertake a new journey. It blows over the distant lands and calls to arise and awake. It calls the forest to unfold its leaves, twigs and branches fully and freely. It tells the wood birds to get up and starts singing. Their song will announce the beginning of the day. It prompts the domestic cocks to heard the day.
The light of the sun is source of life to the plants of the fields. They are looked after and nourished by it. They should be grateful to the sun. So the wind tells them to bow down their heads and express their gratitude.
The wind passes through the church tower and results the bell to ring in the pleasant hour. Finally, the wind arrives at the graveyard of the church. It sighs sadly for the dead and softly tells them to sleep on becuse it is yet the Judgement Day.
