EXPLANATION

A Psalm of Life poem was written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. A Psalm of Life poem is written from the perspective of a young person who conveys a message to the psalmist. Because of that, the aura of young people's blazing and optimistic spirit is very scattered in this poem.

Although the poem is a message from young people to the psalmist, this poem actually tells about the fact that life can be short, because death knows no age. Therefore, time is very valuable. It's important for someone not to procrastinate on a job. In the last stanza, the narrator urges people to take any action that has a good impact on future generations.

On the other hand, The Auspex poem was written by James Russell Lowell. This "Auspex" poem is composed of words in rhythmic rows that make this poem flow, showing its dramatic side.

This poem tells the story of the desires of the soul and the age that limits it. Poetry is written using the image of natural harmony. When someone still has a high soul desire (passion) but he realizes that he is not young anymore, he is burdened with many demands for maturity but he must keep holding on to the soul desire (passion).
