In at least 150 words, discuss how Freneau's "The Wild Honeysuckle" and "The Indian Burying Ground" deal with the theme of nature and how it reflects popular attitudes of the time.

Freneau begins his poem with a declaration of independence from received notions of European civilization respecting burial rites, and ends, appropriately, with a declaration of allegiance not to fact-based reason but to the new Romantic imagination: fancy-bound and therefore capable of conjuring up Indian spirits that are shown to be forever alive in the sublime realm of mist, moonlight, and shadow. When Indians die they bury them in sitting position; they think that the dead are with life, in their own world. The poem is in ten regular stanzas with the rhyming scheme abab. light, and shadow.
