This song will always remind me of my hometown, Portland, Maine, where Longfellow lived and wrote this song from the Eastern Prom.

Actually this was written by one of America's greatest poets, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. His wife died when her dress caught fire. That was near the beginning of the Civil War. then a couple of years later his son who had run away to join the war, was gravely wounded but survived. It was a year later when Longfellow wrote the poem Christmas Bells.
