Summary of the singers ⤵️⤵️
________________
"The Singers" is a poem about three different singers who are sent to the Earth by God. Their purpose is to sing a variety of songs and to touch the hearts of men,
And bring them back to heaven again.
In the poem, each singer is in a different stage of life. The first singer is a young man who plays a golden lyre. He wanders as he plays his dreamy music. He is depicted as being carefree.
The second singer has a beard and it can be assumed that he is middle-aged because of the two singers he is between. He is a serious and contemplative person. He sings in the marketplace, and is
stirred with accents deep and loud
The hearts of all the listening crowd.
The last singer is an older man, whose hair is gray. This older man appears to be wise. When he sings, it is
in cathedrals dim and vast,
While the majestic organ rolled
Contrition from its mouths of gold.
People who hear all three of the singers cannot decide who is best. God looks at all three singers and knows that they each have a special gift. The gift of the young man is to charm. The gift of the middle-aged man is to strengthen. The gift of the older man is to teach. At the end of the poem, it is concluded that
He whose ear is tuned aright
Will hear no discord in the three.

In the poem "The Singers" Henry Wadsworth Longfellow tells about the Christian values. He tells about the three singers whom God had sent on the earth with certain messages to tell to the people. The first singer was full of excitement and enthusiasm. He sang freely with the exuberance of youth. He sang of living the life to its fullest and the way we want to. The second singer with bearded face sang in a settled tone. His singing is the symbol of strength and calmness which is required in the middle age. The last and the third singer is much wiser and old. He job is mainly to teach the coming generation. He is seen playing the organ in a cathedral. When the people heard all of them they inquired as to who was the most relevant. To this question, God gave them the answer that each of the singers has a specific purpose and way of singing. Each of them represents the phase of life and thus teaching the people to live in harmony.
