In Brunswick, also, and at this time, he made the translation of the ode upon "Coplas de Manrique," by his son Don Joze Manrique, a rich, mournfully-rolling Spanish poem. The earlier verses of the young man had made their mark. In school reading-books, and in volumes of elegant extracts, and preserved in many a daintily ribboned manuscript, the "April Day," "Woods in Winter," "Hymn of the Moravian Nuns at Bethlehem," "Burial of the Minnisink," and others, were readily found. As yet the Poet was guiltless of a volume, but his name was known, and upon the credit of a few fugitive pieces he was mentioned first after the monopolizing masters of American verse.

In the year 1835 he received the appointment of Professor in Harvard College, Cambridge, which he accepted, but sailed for Europe again in the course of the year. Upon leaving he committed the publication of "Outre Mer" to the Harpers in New-York, who issued the entire work in two volumes. The second European visit was confined to the north of Europe, Denmark, England, Sweden, Germany, a long pause in Holland, and Paris. In the autumn of 1836 he returned, and in December of the same year removed to Cambridge to reside. Here, again, the North American Review figures a little in the literary life of the Poet. He wrote several articles for it during the leisure of his engagements as Professor of Modern Literature, and, at length, as we have seen, one calm afternoon in the summer of 1837, Longfellow first took lodgings in the Cragie House, with which the maturity and extent of his reputation was to be so closely associated.
