Burial Of The Minnisink Comments
Rating: ★3.0
On sunny slope and beechen swell,
The shadowed light of evening fell;
And, where the maple's leaf was brown,
With soft and silent lapse came down,
The shadowed light of evening fell;
And, where the maple's leaf was brown,
With soft and silent lapse came down,

End of busy day takes place with Sunset like the life of a soldier who dies in war and his body is laid to rest for peace to prevail. In ancient Egypt, the deceased pharaoh with buried in Pyramid along with golden things including his caretakers and loved one; this poem reminds of that by slaying of the soldier's horse too to take rest with its chief! Nicely written poem about a burial culture for a dead soldier!

What a sublime but glorious depiction of the red chief who died and buried in the wood.
Henry W Longfellow was among the immortal poets of the era.

But soon a funeral hymn was heard
Where the soft breath of evening stirred
The tall, gray forest; and a band
Of stern in heart, and strong in hand,
Came winding down beside the wave,
To lay the red chief in his grave.
........//////////elegiac tone writing; great poem penned

One cloud of white,
Around a far uplifted cone,
In the warm blush of evening shone;
An image of the silver lakes,
By which the Indian's soul awakes. A great poem of Longfellow. tony
