"Evangeline, A Tale of Acadie," by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Longfellow's first epic poem, first published in 1847, is the tale of a young girl's search for her lover, following the exile of the Acadians. Ironically, her acceptance of their separation as the will of God eventually leads to their poignant, albeit brief, reunion.

The poem is available for free reading on many online sites.
