I heard the bells

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was filled with sorrow at the tragic death of his wife in a fire in 1861. the civil war broke out the same year, and it seemed this was an additional punishment.Two years later, Longfellow was gain saddened to hear that his own son had been seriously wounded as a lieutenant in the army of the Potomac.sitting down to his desk. one Christmas day, he heard the church bells ringing, and ringing. it was in this setting he wrote: i heard the bells on the Christmas day.their old familiar carols play and wild and sweet the words repeat of peace on earth, good will to men.
