Analysis and comments on Moonlight by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Comment 4 of 4, added on January 30th, 2008 at 9:27 AM.

I think this poem is great and is one of my favorites by Wadsworth. Its
right up there with his famous ones like the village blacksmith and
Hiawatha.

Sometimes I feel that this poem like many of Longfellow’s poems lack depth.
It is superficial and doesn't convey anything but a pretty picture. Many
of the positive comments about this poem state how beautiful it is but in
reality it is dark and dreary. As with most Longfellow works, this is not
a favorite of mine.

Isn't this a very good poem. I think it is a poem nobody can forget.

Isn't this a pretty poem? i just loved it. The descriptions and everything.
Maybe it isn't so popular among people's favorite pomes of Henry Wadsorth
Longfellow. Although i'm not quite sure why. Because i thought it was very
beautiful.....I read it over and over just for the enjoyment of hearing
such a great poet speak with such greatness. Well i do believe that i have
rambled quite enough, maybe i shall go and find another poem to ponder
upon.
