Mad River, In The White Mountains Comments

The conversation between the river and the traveller is meaningful and thought provoking.

This is indeed one of the finest nature poems from the collection of this great poet H.W. Longfellow. The best part of the poem rests upon the beautiful discussion about ups and downs of life in the form of a dialogue between the mountain river and a traveler from the town below. Enjoyed reading it. Dost thou not know that what is best In this too restless world is rest From over-work and worry?
