This poem is my most favorite poem. longfellow was a great poet even if he
does spell tragety wrong. and true he does show great love for his wife. he
must have there for he wouldn't had killed his self. i believe when he
kills his self in the poem that he done it for two reasons. He could have
killed his self because he can't find anyone else like her. Second he just
wanted to be with her. (in heaven)

Longfellow's poetry seems to be underappreciated by the modern world.
perhaps it is hard to pigeon-hole him as readable by a certain age group,
or that blind patriotism is unpopular. He should be anthologized and read
by students ages 5th grade through college.
His poetry adds something to each reader's life...it is his gift to us.

This poem is very deep in what he feels for this one person.

I seem to remember, from reading this poem in grade school, that it was
based on the discovery of a skeleton dressed in armor somewhere in New
England. I would assume in Massachusetts.

This has all the elements of a great tale - adventure, warfare, forbidden
love, and death. It is beautifully crafted, like so many of Longfellow's
works, and I find it quite inspiring.
