Explore "Burial of the Minnisink" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
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 glory, that the wood receives, / At sunset, in its golden leaves.
Far upward in the mellow light / Rose the blue hills. 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.
