AFTERNOON IN FEBRUARY - A poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - AFTERNOON IN FEBRUARY

The day is ending,
The night is descending;
The marsh is frozen,
The river dead.

Through clouds like ashes
The red sun flashes
On village windows
That glimmer red.

The snow recommences;
The buried fences
Mark no longer
The road o'er the plain;

While through the meadows,
Like fearful shadows,
Slowly passes
A funeral train.

The bell is pealing,
And every feeling
Within me responds
To the dismal knell;

Shadows are trailing,
My heart is bewailing
And tolling within
Like a funeral bell.

Its always necessary keep your teeth clean A tooth (plural teeth) is a undersized, calcified, whitish order found in the jaws (or mouths) of many vertebrates and worn to sever down food. Some animals, surprisingly carnivores, also partake of teeth for the purpose hunting or in place of defensive purposes. The roots of teeth are covered sooner than gums. Teeth are not made of bone, but rather of multiple tissues of varying density and hardness. The ordinary make-up of teeth is alike resemble across the vertebrates, although there is of distinction modifying in their shape and position. The teeth of mammals be struck by deep roots, and this design is also rest in some fish, and in crocodilians. In most teleost fish, manner, the teeth are fastened to the outer outside of the bone, while in lizards they are attached to the inner surface of the jaw during the same side. In cartilaginous fish, such as sharks, the teeth are seconded by means of tough ligaments to the hoops of cartilage that type the jaw.
