Read the passage. ye who love the haunts of nature, love the sunshine of the meadow, love the shadow of the forest, love the wind among the branches, and the rain-shower and the snowstorm, and the rushing of great rivers through their palisades of pine-trees, and the thunder in the mountains, whose innumerable echoes flap like eagles in their eyries; listen to these wild traditions, to this song of hiawatha! in this excerpt from “the song of hiawatha,” what message does henry wadsworth longfellow convey to readers? nature is responsible for influencing the actions of hiawatha. if you love nature, you will love the story of hiawatha. if you don’t love nature, it will destroy you. hiawatha’s legend is more important than the forces of nature.
